No longer serving an active congregation, the church is now (September 2012) managed by the City of Nacogdoches's Historic Sites Department. Since 1986 several local groups raised the necessary funds to reroof the structure, stabilize the exterior walls, and begin interior repairs, especially water damage in the sanctuary area. The structure is not yet open to the public unless by arrangement due to ongoing restoration. Plans are to transform the building into a community space and museum about the Nacogdoches African American community.
