[1] The Winterport Congregational Church is located in Winterport's village center, on the west side of Main Street just south of its junction with Elm Street.

It is set well back from the street (its parking area is located off Elm Street), with a tree-lined series of stepped terraces giving it a somewhat monumental setting.

The building is a modest rectangular single-story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and granite foundation.

A tower rises above the roof gable, with a square base topped by a second section that houses a clock and belfry.

[2] In 1820, five different religious congregations united to organize construction of a church building in Winterport.
