Location
With a favorable layout and strategic location, the concept of leasing space within the Blue Hill United Methodist Church prompted the BHELC board to engage with the congregation. The response was one of excitement, eagerly embracing the legacy of their church becoming a haven for the community’s children. The church was remarkably generous and granted a lease for the building, with a future intention to eventually gift the building and its grounds to the Center in the years to come.
