Cornwallis Street Baptist Church, Baptist church in Halifax, Nova Scotia
New Horizons Baptist Church stands as a brick structure in downtown Halifax, representing a center of worship for the Black community since 1832.
The church emerged from the efforts of Black Refugees who arrived in Nova Scotia following the War of 1812, establishing their first independent religious institution.
Under the leadership of Richard Preston, the church became a foundation for social action, addressing issues facing Black Nova Scotians through various community programs.
The church continues to hold regular services and community events at its location on former Cornwallis Street, now renamed Nora Bernard Street.
The congregation changed its name from Cornwallis Street Baptist Church to New Horizons Baptist Church in 2018 to reflect its forward-looking mission.
