It is now part of the Rocky Point Fire District. It is used for trainings, blood drives, community education (narcan class, CPR, first aid) and the department meetings, among other things.
The property also includes a small additional building that contains a garage and basic amenities like seating and a TV for a first responder waiting for alarms.
The (large) building itself is quite nice inside with renovated floors and new paint. There are no longer any benches. It now has a dozen or two foldable tables that can fit a large number of people. There is room to set up a projector and speakers for presentations for educational purposes or departmental trainings.
It is a nice addition to the department.
NOTE: it was not used as an actual church prior to the purchase of the property. It went up for sale and because of the proximity to the Fire House (across the road) and the small building w/garage next to the ‘church’, it made for a great spot to station an additional first responder unit during the weekdays. This provides faster advanced life support response to the west part of the fire district.
The building is also listed as a historical structure. Meaning it cannot be knocked down and redeveloped. The outside will remain in its current design. However, the inside can be altered as it has no historical value or content.
