facility has accessible shower facilities and bathrooms. Walks, new parking and landscaping
complete the design.

and additional comments were provided by Charles Overstreet, Building Committee Chairman and

Mathews Baptist Church Groundbreaking!

Mathews Baptist Church has broken ground for new Renovation Project!

(Hudgins, VA) Located at 8284 Buckley Hall Road, Mathews Baptist Church has broken ground for Phase 1 of a Master Plan put in place a year ago for the historic Mathews County church. The 1000 square foot Phase 1 renovation project will provide new modern bathrooms in the existing Education wing as well as in the existing historic Sanctuary building. Offices will be relocated from the Sanctuary building to larger accommodations in the Education wing, and the existing heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems for the Education wing will be renovated to provide better heating and cooling. New lighting and finishes will complete the renovation in the existing lower level of the education building, and the new restrooms will be completely accessible for the physically handicapped. Future Phases include additional Sunday school classrooms, offices and gathering areas designed to complement the style and character of the existing historic church facility.

The Master Plan and Phase 1 project was designed by local church architect, William Henry Harris, whose firm, William Henry Harris & Associates, Inc. has worked with more than 200 Virginia churches over the past 30 years. They recently completed the new Sanctuary addition for the Catholic Church of the Visitation near Topping, Virginia.

The general contractor for the $80,000 project is Morse Enterprises of Mathews. The project is slated for completion by mid-October of 2012.
