Historical Information
Formed in 1896, the congregation of the Lamberts Cove soon constructed the building we see today (2022). This building is a very striking example of Gothic Revival architecture and has maintained much of its original architectural embellishments and features since its construction. The front façade of this structure is broken into three bays, with the tower centrally placed on the gable end. On each side of the tower there is a Gothic Revival style window, and above the centrally placed doorway there are two more of these windows, side-by-side. Just below the four-sided cap on the tower there is another set of these windows on three sides.
The roof of the building is steeply pitched and has ornate gingerbread mouldings along the eaves and gables. The steeple has the most ornate woodworking on it, and contains rounded cedar shakes, clade boards, corner pilaster boards and sawtooth boards.
On each side of the structure there are four more, larger Gothic Revival windows, original to the structure. On the rear of the building there has been a later addition, containing a vestry and kitchen area.
This church is in a shared pastorate with Fairhaven United Baptist Church and has services on alternating Sundays.
