Woodfords Congregational Church is a church on Woodford Street in Portland, Maine, United States. Located a few yards west of Woodfords Corner, the church was built in 1959, replacing one which was designed by architects Francis H. Fassett and E. F. Fassett[1] and which stood, on the opposite side of what was then called Spring Street,[2][3] between 1872 and 1956.[4] The original church bell was moved to the new construction.[2] The Parish House was built in 1926.[3]
In 2021, discussions began regarding the sale of one of the church buildings to Community Housing of Maine, to be used for senior housing.[5]
