Forestdale Baptist Church

110 Route 130
508-477-1409

In picturesque towns and villages across New England you will find steepled churches that are not just historical landmarks or memorials of days gone by, but have for decades served and ministered to the residents of the local communities.

There is such a church in the heart of Forestdale. Founded in the mid eighteen hundreds, this little white church on Route 130 in the village then known as Greenville, was established. A whaler named Ephrim Fish donated a plot of land and the townspeople raised enough money to build it. Eventually, the population of Forestdale grew and the congregation outgrew the church. The building was moved across the street on land that was once a potato farm.
