Old Church Gets a New Name
CROMWELL, CT (February 2, 2003) - Covenant Congregational Church in Cromwell has
voted to change its name to Hilltop Covenant Church, Covenant News Service
has learned.
Affiliated with the East Coast Conference of the Evangelical Covenant
Church, Hilltop takes its name from the Hilltop Conference center, which
operated in Cromwell from 1919 through 1959. "For forty years the Hilltop
was a place where people from all over New England would gather for days of
study and fellowship," said Pastor Tim Stohlberg. "At the Hilltop people
came to deeper faith in God and made relationships that would last a
lifetime. Our hope is that we would be faithful to that legacy."
The recently renamed church was founded in 1892. It moved to its present
location in 1964. Since 1988 it has been the home of Hilltop Nursery School
and Daycare Center. "We are excited about what our name represents," said
Stohlberg. "Sometimes the best way forward is to take something good from
the past."
