Calendar of Events
Our History
For more than 135 years, Wequiock Presbyterian Church has been a place of worship for families in the Wequiock and Bay Settlement area, looking out over the waters of Green Bay.
That is the title of a history of our congregation written by Cheryl Harvey, with the help of family and friends, around 1995. It is where our motto comes from, and a copy was given by the church to the Brown County Library so the story would be kept for future generations.
The foundation is laid
In October 1888, the foundation was laid for the First Presbyterian Church of Wequiock.
The church is completed
The church building was finished in 1889. It is the same white sanctuary, with its shingled gable and square bell tower, that we worship in today.
A sister church in Humboldt
Nearby, the Humboldt Presbyterian Church served as the only Protestant church in Humboldt Township.
Two churches become one
After the Humboldt congregation closed, its building was moved to Wequiock and joined to the back of our church. Our history booklet gives the year as 1943, though another local history says around 1930. That 25 by 51 foot building became our Sunday School room and Fellowship Hall, so today our church is really two historic churches under one roof.
Recognized by the state
The Wisconsin Historical Society surveyed the church for its Architecture and History Inventory, describing a clapboard building in the Shingle Style with a shingled gable, decorative bargeboard, and a square tower with hooded windows.
"The Case of the Missing Church"
Local historian Cletus Delvaux went looking for the lost Humboldt Presbyterian Church and found it right here, attached to Wequiock. He told the story in the Brown County Historical Society's Historical Bulletin.
Still overlooking the bay
Wequiock Presbyterian Church continues to worship every Sunday at 10:00 a.m. as a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) in the Presbytery of Winnebago. Rev. Steve Fewell serves as pastor, and Rev. William Kamke, who led the church for many years, is Pastor Emeritus.
