Cornerstone Church of Skippack Addition
1326 Stump Hall Road, Skippack, PA · 10,884 sq ft non-residential, institutional · 22.05 acres
About this project
Cornerstone Christian Fellowship plans to build a roughly 10,884-square-foot addition onto its existing church at 1326 Stump Hall Road in Skippack Township, on a 22-acre site. The addition would go on the north side of the building, and the site already has parking, two stormwater basins, an on-lot septic system and a well. The plan retrofits the existing turf basin with water-quality features, and no existing buildings are removed.
