Bahamas Philately: Our Saviour Lutheran Church (Freeport)

 

Our Saviour Lutheran Church was located on East Sunrise Highway, Freeport. The building was designed in an “unusual modern architectual style” by Schweizer Associates.

In 1968, the Church sponsored a religious and school survey of Freeport which resulted in the Grand Bahama Port Authority agreeing to build a school called Sunland. The school was opened in in September 1969 and ownership transferred to the Church.

The Church attempted to start a university but this was rejected by Government.
