Project Backdrop –
The church has continued to grow to the point where ministry is beginning to be restricted due to lack of space. In order to effectively serve the people of the Hingham area in the future, we need to increase our sanctuary and Sunday School facilities. Over several years the Church has prayerfully sought God’s will in the expansion plan and continues to look in faith to God’s direction and timing. The mission of the Church has always been to reach out to the lost and to build up the faith of believers who come to worship as opposed to numeric growth. The elders and the congregation have determined that the most effective strategy to accommodate the growth is to build in the current location.
