The Historic Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church 40-Year Recertification

Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church is a Historic institution located at 301 N.W. 9th street and has served as a community pillar for many generations. To assist with meeting the qualifications for the 40-year recertification, the SEOPW CRA Board of Commissioners approved a grant of $350,000. The 40-year recertification ensures the structural safety of this historic church. This completed project included replacing the barrel-tile roof and structural improvements to the existing landmark building. Additional enhancements include column reconstruction, deteriorating concrete repairs, central sanctuary leak repair, and ceiling replacement.
