KENTVILLE UNITED BAPTIST CHURCH

Kentville Baptist church was first organized on March 3, 1874, but a fellowship actually started some 50 years before this. Theodore Seth Harding, a Baptist Minister from Wolfville, preached at the old court house as early as 1824. When the church was formally organized in 1874, there were 24 charter members. The church building was completed in that same year and has had many additions and modifications over the years. A Hammond organ was installed in 1948 and a two-storey addition, for more Sunday School space, was added in that same year. A new church building, the present church, was completed in 1960 and the old church building was remodeled to become the Baptist Church hall. In a sealed box in the cornerstone of the present church are records and papers dating back to 1874. A new Hill, Norman and Beard pipe organ (from England), was purchased and installed in 1964 due to the generous donation of Viola Bishop, long serving organist... Being and making disciples of Jesus Christ,..
