The Bell and Tower is Restored!
Thank you to all who have contributed!

Fundraising is complete but for several yet unfulfilled pledges!

Video Story


Since 1844 the church bell atop The Village Baptist Church has rung out to call the faithful to worship, but in the fall of 2008 (11-10-08) it had to come down – the belfry had become too unstable to support it. Now with encouragement from members of the community, the church has decided to open up a community wide fundraising effort to repair the belfry and let the bell ring again!

Photos of the Bell

These photos were taken in Fall 2008 as the bell was lowered from the steeple and the steeple was partially dismantled.
