Description

Situated on a hill at the western edge of the community, Little River United Baptist Church is a wooden church with Gothic detailing. It has a central tower projecting from the façade and a small entranceway. Both the church and the surrounding property, including the cemetery, are part of the heritage designation.

Valeur patrimoniale

Little River United Baptist Church is valued for its association with Reverend John Chipman Morse who preached on Digby Neck for sixty-three years, and delivered the dedication service of the church on December 31, 1876. The church and its pastoral history capture an era of Baptist preachers whose commitment to the movement strengthened the Baptist denomination on Digby Neck. All windows and pews are dedicated in memory of past residents of Little River.
