Shrock Premier custom construction

Gethsemane Baptist Church in Marengo, Ohio

As soon as their original church was destroyed by fire in 2013, the leaders of Gethsemane Baptist began their search for a reliable and trustworthy construction company to assist in rebuilding. Shrock Premier was given the privilege of designing and building Gethsemane Baptist’s beautiful new worship center.


  • The vaulted sanctuary is crowned with overhead beams reflecting a solid traditional aesthetic.
  • A large serving kitchen was a crucial part of the design.  The warming space serves the congregation well, while avoiding full commercial kitchen codes and restrictions.
  • The original steeple bell was saved from the fire and mounted in a new coordinating brick foundation.
