North Billerica Baptist Church: A historic place
We have a long history in Talbot Mills in North Billerica, and we are so proud of it.
We have always been a neighborhood church, and we always will be.
We have always been a neighborhood church, and we always will be.
Thomas Talbot in 1869, offered "To build a house at a cost of $10,000 and gave annually during his lifetime, $300 for the support of preaching and to leave at his decease, $5,000 as a fund, the income to be devoted to the same purpose, provided nothing shall befall him or the firm with which he is connected."
"The church was duly formed and organized May 14, 1869 with twenty-seven members."
