Jehovah's Witness Church Coming to Windham?

Windham may be seeing its first Jehovah’s Witness Kingdom Hall in the near future.

A conceptual plan has been provided to the Windham Technical Review Committee for advisement purposes only, though a formal application has yet to be submitted to the town, according to Community Development Director Laura Scott.

According to the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune, a group of Jehovah's Witnesses has a purchase-and-sales agreement in place for a piece of property at 10 Libby Road, where they hope to construct a Kingdom Hall to accommodate up to 300 worshippers from Windham, Derry, Londonderry and Salem.

The report also indicates the Crossing Life Church of Windham is seeking to expand is reach outside of Windham High School – which has hosted worship services for the growing church.

With the approval of the Windham Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA), Crossing Life Church may begin construction on North Lowell Road where it has purchased the former Taylor Farm property, according to the Eagle-Tribune.

The Windham ZBA agenda for Tuesday, Oct. 22, indicates Crossing Life has proposals in place to rezone properties at both 122 and 125 North Lowell Road to "use the property for church purposes including a parish house and parochial school, and to enjoy other uses which are customary and incidental to a church on this property."
