Thirty-five historic Black churches across the country are sharing $4 million in grant money. The goal is to make investments in the buildings and to help the people who fill them.
CLEVELAND — Thirty-five historic Black churches across the country, some right here in Northeast Ohio, are sharing $4 million in grant money. The goal is to make investments in the buildings and to help the people who fill them.
It was once a jewel on Cleveland’s old “millionaire's row.” The money will help preserve this historic building, a building that, as Pastor Brian Cash says, needs stabilization before restoration. But it'll also strengthen its capacity to serve both the spiritual and social needs of this community. The East Mount Zion Baptist Church has a plan in place to preserve its building and move its mission forward.
