Crosspoint Baptist Church

About this project

Cross Point Baptist Church plans an addition to its existing church building on Allentown Road in Franconia Township, using about half an acre of its roughly 15-acre property. The project also expands the parking lot to 138 spaces, including five accessible spaces. The county planning commission generally supports the plan but recommends more trees, shrubs, and a sidewalk.
