The Jehovah’s Witness group have commenced some much needed renovations on their Kingdom Hall building on Gipps Street, Kiama. 

The original hall was built in 1987 and before that there was a Kingdom Hall in Kiama  Downs in the 60’s. Apparently the hall was built in a matter of days by a full team of volunteers.

Today, there are around 300 locals from the Kiama and Albion Park congregations that make use of the hall space, many of whom are participating in its restoration. However, there is plenty of help from around Australia as well. 

The NSW Local Design/Construction team are on site, coordinating the work to be done on the hall. In this early stage, fencing has been erected and scaffolding is currently being installed to ensure a safe working environment for the whole team. 

The friendly team are happy to help, sacrificing their time, energy and resources to pitch in and help out their community.

“We do this work because we love people and want the community to be able to have Bible education for free, in a safe, peaceful environment,” says one member of the team. 

With a typical team of around 50 volunteers each day, the crew will make quick work of the changes that need to be completed and the project is set to be completed in August.
