THE KINDNESS OF THE
OPEN GATE SERVICE CLUB
This church has several unique features including a large stained glass window on the west end, and a row of windows along the south side. The east section of the church appears to be a later addition, although it is difficult to tell because it blends in well. There are two plaques that give some of the history of the building. Hardly any other information is to be found in the usual on-line resources, although it is listed in the
Black Church Directory.
