Church History
The first Falmouth Baptist Church was constituted in 1830, when a group of members from the Windsor Baptist Church organized a church in Falmouth. Construction was completed in 1831. In 1862 the Falmouth Baptist Church congregation discussed building a larger church to accommodate its expansion. The construction was carried out in close proximity to the original church by master builder John Edmund Taylor.
The church, erected in 1871, featured a stencilled wall frieze that adorned the four walls of the nave (oil on plaster c.1870).In June of 2023, the church steeple was struck by lightning and set on fire. A ladder truck needed to be called in because of the steeple's height.
The fire was largely contained to the steeple of the 150-year-old Hants County church, but there was extensive water damage to other parts of the building requiring major repair work. Walls had to be stripped of sheetrock and flooring removed to remediate the water and conduct repairs. Church services were held elsewhere in the community.
Fifteen months later, the congregation has been able to return to the building in celebration. Over 120 people attended the reopening of the church on October 6th 2024. Parishioners were plesed with the work to restore the interior of the building. It took more than a year to reconstruct everytying.
