Beulah Baptist Church Breaks Ground!

Historic Beulah Baptist Church

Breaks ground for a

New Portico and 2-Story Narthex Addition

            (Aylett, VA.) Beulah Baptist Church broke ground for a New Portico and 2-Story Narthex Addition on Easter Sunday, April 8, 2012.  Located on Route 600, just 6 miles Northwest of Aylett in King William County, Virginia, the 1600 square foot expansion will provide a new Commons gathering area, accessible bathroom facilities for men and women, and ample storage for coats.  The second level will provide multi-purpose space for worship overflow and bible study, as well as bathroom facilities.  The new addition is completely accessible for the physically handicapped and includes enhanced exterior and interior lighting.  The new Narthex addition, with a Georgian style columned portico and Flemish Bond brick coursing, will complement the existing historic 1846 brick sanctuary that replaced the original frame church sanctuary that was built shortly after the church was constituted in 1812.

The general contractor for the $280,000 project is the Norman Company Inc. General Contractors of Mechanicsville.  The new expansion has been designed by the Richmond architectural firm of William Henry Harris & Associates, Inc.  The project is slated for completion by the fall of 2012.

Project Spotlight:
Singleton Chapel
Elk Hill, Goochland VA

“My Christmas wish is to go home to spend Christmas with my family.” “My Christmas wish is to have my parents forgive me for the bad stuff I did before coming to Elk Hill.” These and other “wishes” were voiced by kids participating in the Christmas service in the small chapel designed by William Henry Harris & Associates at Elk Hill. This can be a challenging season for many of the children in the Elk Hill program. Some can’t return home at this stage of their treatment and some have no families to be with. For many, this service will be the only Christmas they will experience. William Henry Harris & Associates is happy to have provided this special place of worship and peace for these troubled youth. Visit www.elkhill.org for more information on this inspiring organization that is changing children’s lives throughout Central Virginia.
