About Us
The Englerston Seventh-day Adventist Church was organized in 1954 out of a branch Sabbath School that Jack Dean, Hadassah Hall and others from the Grant’s Town Church began in 1952. It was the third Adventist Church on the Island of New Providence. Now there are twenty-one churches on the island. Alfred Brennen, who was then a member of the Grant's Town Church, drew the plans for the church. Some of the charter members from Grant’s Town included the late Jack Dean, Luella Rolle, Evangelina Rolle, Jane Hall-Higgs, Jane Brown, Daniel Varence, Madge Guillaume, Hamfert Rahming; and others such as Nora McCalla, Mae Ward, Cecil Cartwright, Arnold Burrows, Hadassah Hall, Hugh Rollins, and Pearl McMillan. Englerston became a vibrant, fast-growing church, until it outgrew its facilities. The members decided to buy a new property and build a much larger edifice. With more than eight hundred members trying to fit in a church designed for just two hundred, the Englerston Church, twenty-years ago, moved to its new building on Harold Road. However, a few of the members decided to stay. Thus, the New Englerston Church was started. Today there are more than 300 members.
