Historical Information
In 1831, a new church was established in New Brunswick. It was not founded by any existing denominational body in the province. At the time, there were only two churches of similar faith in Upper and Lower Brighton, established in 1830. The members of this new church were immigrants who had brought their beliefs from other lands. They were nourished and inspired by Henry Alline, a dedicated individual who had visited New Brunswick many years prior.
The early ministers of the Penobsquis Baptist Church included Reverend Ezekiel McLeod, Reverend Edward Weyman, and Reverend David Oram. They, along with Elders Churchill, Nutt, and Hartt, played a significant role in the formation of the church.
The early years of the church were challenging, with limited resources and no regular minister. Meetings were held in various locations, such as schoolhouses, private houses, and barns. The church depended on visiting elders who provided assistance without a fixed salary.
On September 6, 1831, fourteen individuals gathered under the leadership of Elder Samuel Hartt and Elder Edward Weyman. They formed a band to watch over each other for good and laid the foundation for the future United Baptist Church of Penobsquis. Over the years, the church went through different names, including Christian Church, Free Baptist, and Free Christian Baptist, before adopting its present name in 1905.
The early years were marked by struggles and fluctuating interest. In 1832, the church joined the New Brunswick Christian Conference, but its vitality remained low. However, after a visit from Elder Cronkite and Elder Edward Weyman in 1833, weekly meetings and monthly conferences resumed, resulting in new members joining the church.
In 1840, a regular meeting house called the "Free Baptist Meeting House" was constructed. It was situated in what is now known as the Lower Burying Ground. The church continued to face challenges, but in 1860, under the leadership of Elder Rattray and with the assistance of other ministers, the church experienced its greatest revival. Forty-seven new members joined, and the church reached its peak of prosperity.
Throughout its history, the church had various pastors and ministers who served the spiritual needs of the congregation. In 1957, the original Penobsquis Church burned down, and the Penobsquis and Cardwell churches dissolved to form a new United Baptist Church in Penobsquis.
This building is typical for its time in terms of size and style. This building features an upper level sanctuary space, with a lower recreational space used for fundraising events and gatherings. It also features a saddle-back steeple positioned, on the peak of the roof, over the centrally placed doorway on the gable end. In 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, a front addition the same size, and style as the main structure, was added to the front of the facade. This space features an entranceway and welcoming area, which were completed in 2021.

Historical Information
The Collina United Baptist Church is typical for its time both in terms of size and style. This church has Gothic Revival elements in its architecture and is built in the Meeting House style. The style is characterized by being a 1 ½ wood-frame construction, with either one or two entranceways located on the gable end. One can tell a lot about the beliefs of a congregation by examining their architecture. Often when there are two doors, one located on each side of the front facade, one door was used by the men, and the other by the women. The building is made of wood, and has wooden clad boards on the exterior. The front entranceway is centrally placed on the gable end, and close to the peak of the structure there is a pointed gothic window, mimicking that of the points on the windows, located on the sides of the structure.
Formerly part of the Millstream United Baptist Pastorate, the other the Head of Millstream United Baptist Church, and Keirstead Mountain Baptist Church.
In 1905, with the amalgamation of the Free Baptist Conference of New Brunswick and the Maritime Convention into the United Baptist Convention of the Maritime Provinces, the Collina Church became part of the Lower Millstream United Baptist Church.

Historical Information
In 1805 the Free Christian Baptists formed in the Parish of Norton. At this time time there was no Baptist church in this area. Services were held in private dwellings until the people were able to construct a church. About 1828 the Baptists and the Presbyterians joined in the building of a church at Riverbank on land donated by Hugh Campbell, a Presbyterian. The church was affectionately called "The Meeting House" and was used by both congregations for many years.
When the European and North American Railway went through the area in 1859 and a bridge was later built across the Kennebecasis River at Norton, the adjacent community began to grow.
The Baptists reorganized in 1873 and used the Temperance Hall on Main Street for their services. Reverend Elijah Gray was the pastor at this time. The Temperance Hall burned and all records and artifacts of the Baptist church and Temperance Society were destroyed. Arrangements were made with Leander Jones and services were conducted in his carriage shop on Main Street, but this arrangement was very inconvenient for the congregation as well as for Mr. Jones. At this time the congregation decided to build their own church on a new street just opened called McLeod Street (now Church Street). On September 17, 1883 the sum of one hundred dollars was paid to Joseph Douglas Baxter for the site. The exact date of construction is not known but the building was insured in 1886 and named the Norton Free Christian Baptist Church. Shepherd Grey of Apohaqui was the carpenter in charge and he carved by hand all the fret work on the outside of the building. Weston Patriquen, while taking his apprenticeship in blacksmithing in Apohaqui, handwrought the metal weather vane for the church steeple.
A major step was taken in 1905 by the union of the Calvinistic and the Free Will Baptists. The church resulting from this union was called the United Baptist Church.
The church records indicated that the congregation supported as the pocket would allow - February 3, 1907 very stormy, collection 56 cents; February 16, 1907 night of the high water, collection 98 cents; February 13, 1909 snow very deep, collection 62 cents; August 9, 1909 thirty-five present, collection 73 cents; March 20, 1909 sawing two cords of wood and putting in shed, $1.60.
In the first couple of decades of the twentieth century, an explosion completely destroyed the first church. The first church was somewhat unusual for its time in terms of style. Most Baptist churches in Atlantic Canada built in the later part of the nineteenth century were built either in the Meeting House style or in a symmetrical design. This church however, features an asymmetrical front facade, and has Greek Revival elements. The ties with this architectural style can be found in the large rounded windows found above the centrally placed doorway on the gable end, near the peak of the roof, or on the windows along the length of the steeple. It is unusual, and unlike other churches of this style, that the doorway is found centrally placed on the gable end, instead of in the steeple. Another interesting element of this building is the large wooden cross on the peak of the roof.
The second building somewhat resembles the first, in terms of its design, and size. It appears that this building, however, has elements of Gothic Revival, evident in the ornate return eaves on the gable end, the rounded, gothic woodwork around the windows, and the windows themselves. The front entranceway is located on the off-center tower. The front facade/gable end, features a medallion window near the peak of the roof, and a centrally placed gothic window on the wall. Each side of the church features three Gothic windows. A unique feature of this building is the tall, slender steeple, with open-cage belfry.

Historical Information
The Midland Free Baptist Church was organized in 1833. This building was situated near and faced Highway 40, then known as Finger Board Road. During this time, the congregation traveled by horseback or foot to attend Sunday gatherings. Some of the old seats from this facility still exist, in homes and in the current church. This facility was later sold and torn down.
As the group grew, there was a need for a new church building to be constructed. Just this happened in 1865. Both the first and second building were built in the Meeting House style, common among Baptists in Atlantic Canada during the time. This style is characterized by a 1 ½ wood-frame construction, with either one or two entranceways located on the gable end. One can tell a lot about the beliefs of a congregation by examining their architecture. Often when there are two doors, one located on each side of the front facade, one door was used by the men, and the other by the women. With this style, things often happen in sets of three, such as the three Gothic Revival windows located on each side, symbolizing the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This church is set apart by the fact that there are four Gothic Revival windows found on either side, along with two of the same size and style, situated above one-another on the gable end. The building is made of wood, and has wooden clad boards on the exterior of the structure. The front entranceway is centrally placed on the gable end, and close to the peak of the structure there is a pointed gothic window, mimicking that of the points on the windows, located on the sides of the structure. The entranceway door is situated on the left side of the front stoop area.
In August 1905, the Norton, and Midland Free Baptist Churches asked Kiersteadville and Long Point Churches to unite with them to form a pastorate. This union was dissolved upon mutual agreement in 1997. The three churches still maintain a good working relationship and on occasion join together for a time of worship and fellowship. The church underwent a major renovation with the first sod turned in 1986. This resulted in the worship center being turned around and a fellowship room, kitchen and two washrooms added on the main floor and a nursery and Sunday School rooms added downstairs. Further renovations happened in 2003 to our youth and children's center downstairs.

Originally built 1828, 1875 current building after 1959
Historical Information
The church, organized in 1823, was originally called the Baptist Church of Sussex. It was the first such church in the then very large parish of Sussex. Evidently there were some Baptist interest long before that, for Rev. I. E. Bill in his "History of the Baptists" notes that Benedict in 1813, speaks of a Baptist church in Sussex. Soon after organization, this part of Sussex parish was being called Upper Settlement as distinct from the lower settlement of Sussex Vale–actually what is now called Sussex Corner.
By 1865 the church was being called the "Baptist" Church at Penobsquis. This led to confusion, however, as the Free Christian Baptist Church of Penobsquis also used the name. In 1874 Sussex parish was divided into the parishes of Sussex, Cardwell and Waterford. Penobsquis is in Cardwell parish - a word seldom used now. In 1882 the members officially changed the name to Cardwell Baptist Church. When the Regular and Free Christian Baptists united in 1905, the name became the Cardwell United Baptist Church. Following the fire which destroyed the Penobsquis United Baptist Church in July 1957 , the Cardwell and Penobsquis congregations united to form a new church. On motion of Mrs. Walter Murray, a member of the Cardwell United Baptist Church, the name became The United Baptist Church at Penobsquis. In succession the name was Baptist Church of Sussex, Upper Settlement Church, Upper Sussex, Baptist Church at Penobsquis, Cardwell Baptist Church and now, since 1957 the new church, the United Baptist Church at Penobsquis.
The first Baptist Church at Penobsquis (1928), was most likely built in the Meeting House style, a style common among Baptists of Atlantic Canada. The style is characterized by being a 1 ½ wood-frame construction, with either one or two entranceways located on the gable end. One can tell a lot about the beliefs of a congregation by examining their architecture. Often when there are two doors, one located on each side of the front facade, one door was used by the men, and the other by the women.
The second church, built in 1875, was somewhat unusual for its time, in terms of the amount of architectural elements. This church was a prime example of a church built in the Gothic Revival Style. Some of the most striking features of this church were the five gothic revival windows found on the eaves side of the structure, along with the eyebrow trim above the windows. The most notable and striking feature of this facility, however, would have to be the three-bay front facade. Each bay is separated by corner pilasters that reach high above the pitch of the roof. Each side bay has a gothic revival window, and tall pinnacle on each end of the roofline. The doorway was centrally placed and had a tall, slender tower, with a four pointed crown, and internal bell. This church was destroyed by fire in 1959.
After the Penobsquis church burned, the congregation moved and met with the Cardwell United Baptist Church congregation. This church was located where the Cardwell Cemetery is located today, and is across the road from the present church. This church, built a few years after the fire, is typical for its time in terms of size and style.
This building was part of the Sussex/Cardwell Parish, which also included the Portage Valley, and South Branch Baptist Churches, and formerly Dutch Valley, and Cardwell.

Historical Information
This building was built in the Meeting House style, common among Baptists in Atlantic Canada during the time. The style is characterized by being a 1 ½ wood-frame construction, with either one or two entranceways located on the gable end. One can tell a lot about the beliefs of a congregation by examining their architecture. Often when there are two doors, one located on each side of the front facade, one door was used by the men, and the other by the women.
This building still stands in its original location. It has white vinyl siding covering all sides of the structure and has black asphalt shingles on the roof. It appears to be in fairly good condition and state of repair.
Formerly part of the Sussex Parish that also included the Penobsquis, Portage Valley, and South Branch Baptist Churches, this church closed and was decommissioned in 2009.

Historical Information
The Cardwell United Baptist Church, formerly Sussex Baptist Church, was originally built in 1823, to serve the community of Cardwell. It was most likely built in the Meeting House style, common among Baptists in Atlantic Canada during the time. This style is characterized by a 1 ½ wood-frame construction, with either one or two entranceways located on the gable end. One can tell a lot about the beliefs of a congregation by examining their architecture. Often when there are two doors, one located on each side of the front facade, one door was used by the men, and the other by the women.
This building was later replaced by a larger, more accommodating building for the growing congregation around 1882. This building resembled the Penobsquis Baptist Church that was built a few years prior, but was a smaller version. It is likely, given the close proximity of both buildings, that they were built by the same architect. This building was built in the Gothic Revival style, and featured three gothic revival windows on either side of the church structure. The front facade was broken up into three-bays with the outer bays having a gothic window, the same size as those on the eaves-sides, and a large finial directly above the corner pilaster boards. The steeple protruded forwards from the main structure and featured a centrally placed doorway, with gothic eyebrow trim above it. The tower structure was somewhat low, and did not reach very much higher than the main building. Above this, was a cone shaped steeple, that reached high above the main structure, doubling its height.
As years went on, and when the new Penobsquis church building was constructed, services were not held in the church. The last funeral in the building was held in the latter 1980s. The lack of use for this facility led to its eventual demolition in the 1990s.
This church was formerly part of the Sussex Parish, that also included the Penobsquis, Portage Valley, and South Branch Baptist Churches. This church closed and was demolished in the 1990s and stood where the Cardwell Cemetery is today (2023).

Historical Information
The Lower Millstream Baptist Church is typical for its time in terms of size and style. It was constructed in the Meeting House style, this style is characterized by being a 1 ½ wood-frame construction, with either one or two entranceways located on the gable end. One can tell a lot about the beliefs of a congregation by examining their architecture. Often when there are two doors, one located on each side of the front facade, one door was used by the men, and the other by the women. The building is made of wood, and has wooden clad boards on the exterior of the structure. The front entranceway is centrally placed on the gable end, and close to the peak of the structure there is a pointed gothic window, mimicking that of the points on the windows, located on the sides of the structure.
In the late nineteenth century an addition to the church was added on the front facade. This addition contained a recreational meeting space, kitchen and storage space for the congregation. This addition is easily set apart from the main building, based on the height and the pitch of the roof. It more than doubles the usable space of the facility.
The building has maintained much of its original character-defining elements over time, including its original pews, windows, and architectural embellishments inside. The stained-glass windows appear to be early examples of gothic revival windows in New Brunswick.
This church was formerly part of the Millstream United Baptist Pastorate, along with the Head of Millstream United Baptist Church, and Keirstead Mountain Baptist Church.
The congregation did not survive after the COVID-19 pandemic. They closed, and sold the building in 2023.

Originally built 1844, then 1888
Historical Information
The original Butternut Ridge Baptist Church was built in 1844. It was constructed in the Meeting House style, this style is characterized by being a 1 ½ wood-frame construction, with either one or two entranceways located on the gable end. One can tell a lot about the beliefs of a congregation by examining their architecture. Often when there are two doors, one located on each side of the front facade, one door was used by the men, and the other by the women. This building burned in 1886, and was soon replaced by another building in 1888.
The building constructed in 1888, was built on the same site as the former meeting house. This building somewhat resembles the former Baptist church, built around the same timeframe in Falkland Ridge, Annapolis County, Nova Scotia, with its two side entrances that are set out far from the main structure. The main structure of the Butternut Ridge United Baptist Church consists of a 1 ½ storey structure built in the Gothic Revival style, a common style for this timeframe in Atlantic Canada. The building appears to be built on the side of a hill, allowing for there to be a basement underneath the sanctuary space. Some of the most striking features of this building are the three gothic style windows, with eyebrow trim boards on the eave-sides of the building. Centrally placed on the gable end is another, larger, gothic window. The building features two spires, one on the left side, near the left entrance, and a larger one, above the open-cage belfry on the right side of the gable end.
In 1903, a bell was purchased. Spacious horse sheds were built at the back and lower side of the building. These were torn down in 1951, having outlived their usefulness. The church has seven stained glass windows, 3 on each eave-side and one on the gable end of the building. In 1940, the high steeple on the right side of the gable end was replaced by a lower arrangement. Many other renovations have taken place both on the exterior and interior of the building over the course of time.
It is unknown if this church is still in operation, or still standing, and the congregation is believed to be joined with Havelock now (2023).

Historical Information
The Snider Mountain United Baptist Church building is typical for its time in terms of size and style. It was constructed in the Meeting House style. This style is characterized by a 1 ½ wood-frame construction, with either one or two entranceways located on the gable end. One can tell a lot about the beliefs of a congregation by examining their architecture. Often when there are two doors, one located on each side of the front facade, one door was used by the men, and the other by the women.
This church has hints of Gothic Revival architecture, which was common among Baptist churches in Atlantic Canada in the mid-nineteenth century. This architecture is evident in the use of three pointed Gothic Revival windows on each of the eave-side of the building, corner pilaster boards, and a pointed window near the peak, on the gable end. The building features a small one storey entryway that is possibly a later addition, as it lacks architectural embellishments and details. The front entrance is centrally placed on this gable end, in this entryway. The building is in relatively good condition for its age, appears to have been painted recently, and has a new black metal roof.
This church does not have regular services, however, a few times a year they have musical concerts, with the proceeds going towards the restoration of this church facility (2023).
This church was formerly part of the Millstream United Baptist Pastorate, which initially included Keirstead Mountain Baptist Church, Head of Millstream United Baptist Church, Snider Mountain Baptist Church, Collina United Baptist Church, and formerly Lower Millstream, prior to it being sold. Now this pastorate contains only Keirstead Mountain Baptist Church and the Head of Millstream United Baptist Church (2023).
