'An interesting odyssey': How new church built a following in Milford during pandemic Donald Eng FacebookTwitterEmail MILFORD — There was never any doubt where Curran Bishop would start his church. A Georgia native raised by Rhode Islanders, Bishop founded Christ Presbyterian Church in Milford in 2020. Against all reasonable expectations, the congregation has weathered a global pandemic and seven relocations and reached its first anniversary. Members will commemorate the occasion with an abbreviated in-person service at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Rotary Pavilion at Fowler Field. Regular services are Sundays at 10:30 a.m. at the Milford Arts Council. “It’s been an interesting odyssey,” Bishop said of the previous 12 months that has seen his 30-member congregation meet for services in backyards, parks and a gaming cafe, among other places.
