Built circa 1859
Historical Information
The Head of Millstream Baptist Church was organized in 1859; later that year they constructed this church facility. This building is built in the Meeting House style, which was typical of Baptist congregations around this time frame in Atlantic Canada. The Meeting House style is characterized by a 1 ½ storey 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 is rather plain and lacks architectural details that are usually found on churches of this period and style. This could be due to the application of vinyl siding to the exterior, which is not original to the facility. The building features a front entrance centrally placed on the gable end, with three, large, gothic windows, on each of the eave-sides of the building. Perhaps this building was initially used as a union church, since a union cemetery surrounds the church.
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).

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 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 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
Pastor Ron Ostten started First Bible Baptist Church in the Saint John area in September of 1971, meeting in a local Orangemen’s Hall.
The structure that houses the First Bible Baptist Church is a rather plain, one-and-a-half-storey wooden structure with a medium pitched roof. The building has black asphalt shingles and white vinyl siding. The main entrance to the building is centrally placed on the gable end and on either side of those double doors there is a decorative lattice. The building is longer than it is wide and contains five sets of windows evenly positioned along each side of the church. Between the windows on the first and second level there is different colored siding, which was a common architectural detail in the 1970’s and 1980’s. On the left side of the building there are two other entrances close to the front and back corners. The one near the front of the building appears to go to the main level and the entrance at the rear has a wheelchair ramp for the main sanctuary level.
This church is an independent Baptist church.

Historical Information
Founded in 1806, the First Springfield Calvinist Baptist Church, now Hatfield Point Baptist Church, became the mother church of several Baptist chapels around the Belleisle. The pastorate now contains the Hatfield Point Baptist Church and Belleisle Creek Baptist Church.
The current (2021) Hatfield Point Baptist Church was built in 1887 and is a large two-and-a-half storey structure with a centrally placed steeple on the gable end of the building. The main entrance is positioned on the right side of an addition to the front of the structure. Over time this building appears to have had many additions both to the front and back of the building, visible in both photos. On the main structure on either side there are large, rounded point, gothic windows, which were common in the mid- to late-nineteenth century. Windows on the front addition mimic those on the original structure. The steeple is low and has a four-sided low pitch roof with asphalt shingles. As the congregation has grown and the need for more space has been an issue, it appears the congregation has added to their facilities. The most extensive of these additions is on the rear of the structure, positioned immediately behind the main sanctuary. This space is used as a meeting space and kitchen area, and is connected to the main building by another addition.
Both sets of entrances have red doors and are located on the right side of the building. All windows appear to now be white vinyl windows, replacing the original wooden sash ones. The exterior facades have been covered with white vinyl siding and the whole roof of the complex is covered with black asphalt shingles.
This church is an independent Baptist church and is not affiliated with the Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada (CBAC).

Historical Information
Keirstead Mountain Baptist Church is believed to have been built around 1838, based on information provided by the Millstream United Baptist Pastorate.
This church is an early example of one that was constructed in the Meeting House style. This style is characterized by a 1 ½ storey 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 was a common style among the Baptists of Atlantic Canada throughout the nineteenth century.
This church is almost identical in size and architectural details to the Snider Mountain Baptist Church, also in this pastorate. It is likely that the carpenters used one of them as a template to build the other, or possibly even built both. This church, much like Snider Mountain, features three large, pointed Gothic Revival windows on each of the eave-sides and a smaller gothic window close to the peak on the gable end. Both facilities feature an enclosed entryway as well.
This church appears to have been renovated extensively over the course of its history, including being situated on a new poured concrete foundation, which allows for recreational and kitchen space in the basement. The building features a large wheelchair ramp on the front, which goes up to a set of double doors, positioned on the side of the entryway, rather than on the front facade.
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).

Historical Information
Formerly known as the Second Baptist Church of Springfield, the Kiersteadville Baptist Church was formed in 1850, due to residents of this region not being able to access the First Baptist Church of Springfield during inclement weather.
It was decided in April of 1850 to erect a schoolhouse and meeting house. This building was quickly built, measured 20 feet by 24 feet, and was fitted with straight-back pews made from rough planks. It is said that before this facility could be finished, before the windows and doors were installed, the community eagerly began holding services here. The Meeting House 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.
In 1902, the congregation along with the First Baptist Church of Springfield came together to construct a parsonage at Hatfield’s Point. In the 1930’s the church had electricity installed for the first time.
In 1977 the church was moved to where it currently sits (2023). A new cinder-block foundation was built underneath the church, along with new entrances into the building. In 1979 the basement was finished, along with a new kitchen and washroom area. In 1992 a foundation for a Sunday school room, which is attached to the church facility, was built.
While the building constructed in 1850 was used as both a school and a church, the present church (2023) appears to have been built in 1859 solely for religious services. It was also built in the Meeting House style, with Gothic Revival architectural embellishments. The church facility has clearly been added to over time, as the congregation grew, but it has managed to maintain many of its original features, including ornate gingerbread trim boards along the pitch of the roof on the gable end, and oversized gothic windows located on each of the eave sides. This church’s main entrance is centrally located on the gable end. On the left eave-side is a Sunday school addition.
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 worship and fellowship.

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.
