New Baptist Church Proposed

Almost three years ago Bridgewater Town Council approved a Development Agreement for a seniors assisted living facility and the future construction of a new Baptist Church. An application is now before Town Council to amend the agreement to permit for its construction . The proposal calls for a 28 thousand square foot church with a 500 seat sanctuary and stage area, 10 classrooms, 5 plus offices along with kitchen facilities and a 6 thousand square foot gymnasium. The church along with the Drumlin Hills housing facility would complete the proposed campus on Glen Allan Drive. Construction of a new Baptist Church could start as early as this construction season, however, the timeline will be largely dependent on continuing fundraising efforts.
A public participation meeting has been scheduled for March 17th in council chambers.
