HIGHLIGHTS
Former Church in Hastings – Retains Core Worship Spaces, Currently Zoned Commercial
Located in the heart of Hastings, this prominent former church property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a building originally constructed in 1858 as St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church and later carefully remodelled for commercial use. While the property is currently operating as a commercial venue and is zoned C9 (commercial), the essential church layout and architectural elements remain intact, allowing for a potential return to use as a place of worship. Buyers should note that commercial property taxes currently apply, and a rezoning back to institutional or religious use would be required to re-establish tax-exempt church status.
The building has undergone extensive upgrades over time, including modern mechanical, electrical, and accessibility improvements, while preserving key church features such as the sanctuary volume, stained glass, and original wood detailing. The overall configuration continues to support worship gatherings, fellowship, and ministry programming, making this a viable option for a congregation prepared to navigate the rezoning process.
Key Features for Church Use:
Former sanctuary space with preserved architectural character and stained-glass windows
Elevator providing accessibility between levels
Multiple washrooms and support spaces suitable for ministry and gatherings
Updated HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems
Municipal water services
Approx. 0.34-acre site with strong visibility in the Hastings core
Currently zoned commercial (C9) with commercial property taxes in effect
Rezoning required for formal return to church use and tax-exempt status
This is a distinctive opportunity for a congregation seeking a well-maintained former church that has already benefited from significant capital investment. With its strong presence in the community and retained worship-friendly layout, the property offers a solid foundation for renewed ministry following the appropriate zoning approvals.
