In the year 1808, a group of nine people met in a private home in Camden village to organize a church. They continued to meet, pray and worship in private homes and schoolhouses for about 30 years to organize what was then known as the Second Baptist Church. Its membership was up and down during this period, until 1836 when the Maine Baptist Convention sent Elder Kimball to both inspire and help them. He was successful in gathering the flock together and adding new members. Encouraged by their new awakening they set about to build a house of worship in 1837, overlooking the lovely Camden Harbor where it still stands today.

Making Disciples of Jesus Christ who worship Him by growing in love for God, love for one another, and love for a broken world.
