Former Church in Stratford – Retains Essential Spaces for Worship & Ministry
This remarkable former church, originally built in 1873-74 as Mackenzie Memorial Gospel Church, has been renovated for use as a restaurant and event space, but its core church features remain intact, allowing for a seamless conversion back into a place of worship. Located in the heart of Stratford’s vibrant community, this expansive 10,000+ sq ft property retains its original sanctuary layout, stunning stained-glass windows, and architectural grandeur, making it an excellent opportunity for a congregation seeking a unique and functional worship space.
Key Features for Church Use:
Preserved Sanctuary & Worship Space:
The 5,300 sq ft main level still features its soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed wooden trusses, stained-glass windows, and raised stage, maintaining the traditional feel of a worship setting.
The former balcony, now known as "The Belfry," provides additional space that can be used for choir seating, prayer rooms, or overflow worship seating.
Fellowship & Ministry Support Areas:
A fully equipped commercial kitchen with walk-in coolers and freezers, perfect for church meals, events, and community outreach programs.
Multiple gathering rooms and a basement-level hall, ideal for Bible study groups, youth programs, Sunday school, and ministry meetings.
Accessibility & Parking:
The property includes ample parking on a 0.436-acre lot, ensuring easy access for congregants.
Fully air-conditioned and heated with forced-air natural gas, providing comfort throughout the year.
Prime Location for Community Outreach:
Positioned at Brunswick and Waterloo Streets, just steps from Stratford’s cultural and residential areas, offering great visibility and accessibility for ministry expansion.
Though currently configured as a restaurant and event venue, this magnificent former church retains its essential layout and architectural features, making it an excellent candidate for reconversion into a thriving place of worship. This is a rare opportunity for a congregation to reclaim and revitalize a space designed for faith, fellowship, and community engagement.
