- Founded in 1875 by twelve formerly enslaved individuals, Mount Gilead is Fort Worth's oldest African American Baptist church.
- The 1912 neoclassical building suffers from peeling paint, lack of air conditioning, and accessibility issues.
- Congregants and leadership worry about losing a vital emblem of the Black community's heritage downtown.
- The church is listed among Fort Worth's most endangered historic places and seeks preservation solutions.
If we have to shut down the building itself, it would be a loss of very rich Black American history in downtown Fort Worth.— Delories McGhee, a member of Mount Gilead Baptist Church since 1983, speaks about the significance of the church to the community.
