Somesville Union Meeting House
The Somesville Church is a United Church of Christ congregation known for its prophetic voice, food and fellowship!
"Meeting House" is an old Congregational and Quaker term for the building where the community of faith would meet with each other and with God. Our church meets in a historic, traditional New England white building with a tall steeple, situated in the quaint village of Somesville on Mt. Desert Island, close to Acadia National Park.
Besides our concern and compassion for all God's children, as well as Creation, we are known for our warm fellowship and delicious food - selling pies in the summer and having Lobster Dinner fundraisers.
Our church was the first in Maine to declare support for the LBGTQ community in January 1996.
Twelve years later the congregation adopted another prophetic stance, declaring SUMH to be a "Just Peace Church" in Jan. 2008.
