The Reverend Robert W. Fisher remarked, 'We didn't realize how bad it was.' Over the years, the bell tower suffered significant damage due to various natural and environmental factors, necessitating substantial renovations.
After receiving a $100,000 grant from the National Fund for Sacred Places in 2021, the church embarked on a $1.9 million renovation project to restore its bell tower, aiming to preserve its historical significance and ensure it continues to serve the community.
Fisher expressed his gratitude, stating, 'I'm thrilled to say that people stepped up,' highlighting the community's generosity in pledging funds for the project even before all the money was secured.
