Advent Christian Church
In 1857, Elder Miles Grant, of Boston, began religious services in this city, delivering lecctures to audiences in the Town Hall and elsewhere. These meetings resulted in an extensive revival, from which the Advent Christian Church was orrganized that year. The first settled pastor was the Rev. Matthew Batchelder. During his passtorate the Church erected a plain wooden Church edifice on West Street near the old State House, at a cost of some $2,500, and with a seating capacity of about four hundred persons.
In 1884, the Church property on West Street was sold, and a new edifice with seating capacity of about two hundred was erected on Williams Street, between Church and Elm Streets. About this time conditions arose which reesulted eventually in the loss of the Church property, the scattering of its membership, and the complete cessation of all religious services. During the summer of 1896, the Hoosic Valley A. C. Conference, through their Evangelist, H. W. Hewitt, re-opened religious services in Rutland.
On March 11, 1897, an Advent Christian Church was organized with membership of twenty-seven persons. The society at present worships in a substantial brick church on West Street, built during the pastorate of Rev. H. W. Hewitt. The pastor, Rev. G. A. Osman, has been in Rutland but a few months but is highly spoken of by his parishioners.
