LOWER GILMANTON — The First Baptist Church of Lower Gilmanton recently received a grant from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation’s Globe Community Fund. This grant will be used to help complete the final phase of restoration of the church. The exterior work includes repairing/replacing clapboards, fascia, window sills, scraping, priming and painting exterior.
The Lower Gilmanton Community Club is the nonprofit sponsor for the First Baptist Church. The grant will help further the LGCC’s mission of preserving Gilmanton’s rich, distinctive tradition of a strong, socially-connected community in which neighbors know and care about each other and to preserve the historic and cultural resources.
Since its inception in 1927, the LGCC’s motto has been to “promote a better social life for the community.” It represents the entire community, including Gilmanton Corners, Lower Gilmanton and the Iron Works.
