BAPTIST CHURCH MAY MOVE
Present Site Too Close to The Street
[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 7 June 1921]
The present site of the Baptist Church, West Main Street, is too close to the street and now that the building in the rear of the church is being torn down by F. Hodgson, it is thought that the church will be enlarged. The Baptist Church in its present site, is too small to accommodate the present congregation. Under its present roof the church cannot assimilate all which it could if the building was larger.
The Sunday School classes are at present being held in the basement of the building and they are cramped for room. Since the church moved from its old site in the North Ward to where it stands today, it has increased by leaps and bounds and especially since the present minister, the Rev. A.C. Campbell took charge. Through his genial manner and wonderful personality, the membership of both the church itself and the Sunday school has increased so as to create an overflow of the edifice at the corner of West Main and Fraser.
The old building which is being razed will likely give way to a modern home for the pastor.
Inspired by the meeting held here last week for the Niagara-Hamilton Association, many prominent church workers are joining together to work for a bigger and better Baptist Church in Welland.
