by Marissa Greene, Fort Worth Report
December 22, 2025<\/p>\n

In the beginning, a pastor and 12 former slaves planted a house of worship in downtown Fort Worth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0At 150 years old, it is the oldest operating African American Baptist church standing in the heart of the city where generations of worshippers navigated the Great Depression, segregation and the two world wars.<\/p>\n

They called it Mount Gilead Baptist Church.<\/p>\n

The congregation \u2014 like many across the nation \u2014 faces dwindling attendance and diminished financial support in face of a hefty price tag to restore the aging building.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now the downtown church building is up for sale.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To keep themselves going in anticipation of finding a new church home, Mount Gilead\u2019s pastor and members look back to the three words that started it all:<\/p>\n

Members of the oldest Black Baptist church in Fort Worth reflect on its legacy and look toward the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One of Pastor Lorenzo Jones IV\u2019s Christmas traditions is putting up the tree with his daughter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In past years, the two-person task often would turn into a one-man job after Jones\u2019 daughter would get distracted and leave her father to finish the task, the pastor told Mount Gilead Baptist Church attendees during the Dec. 21 Christmas service.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Not this year. Instead of leaving Jones to it, 11-year-old Kerrington stuck around for him to walk her through the process \u2014 and to have a moment to talk about their faith.\u00a0<\/p>\n

From the top-down, the father-daughter duo decorated the tree with an angel, personalized mementos, and red and gold ornaments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At that moment, Jones\u2019 curious daughter asked him two questions: Why did her father choose gold and red ornaments \u2014 and what does a Christmas tree have to do with Jesus?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst of all, it just looks good,\u201d Jones said in response to his daughter\u2019s initial question.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But the colors also carry significance to their Christian faith. The gold represents the \u201cking of kings,\u201d or Jesus, and the red symbolizes the \u201cblood that was shed for our sins,\u201d Jones added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To which Kerrington responded honestly: \u201cEw. I don\u2019t want blood on the tree.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jones had been preaching through the Book of John since the church\u2019s 150th anniversary service in late September. Instead of going through the traditional Christmas story in the Bible, he walked congregants through John 3:16, a well-known Bible verse describing God\u2019s sacrificial love and the path to salvation through faith in Jesus.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jones shared this story with congregants Sunday morning as a part of his sermon on how, in his family, the tree is a reminder of the light Jesus brought into the world and how his sacrifice for eternal life is a priceless gift.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe price that was paid was intense. The gift that you needed that you never knew you needed was simply love and all you have to do is believe,\u201d Jones said at the pulpit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

About 26 adults gathered inside the red-carpeted sanctuary lit by the golden stained glass windows for Mount Gilead Baptist Church\u2019s Dec. 21st service titled \u201cThe Gift that Keeps on Giving.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Clad in poinsettia-red blazers and emerald green dresses and button-downs, congregants shouted out Amens, at times subduing the faint sound of children\u2019s giggles and laughter downstairs. The church in downtown Fort Worth has held decades of worship services like this one, perhaps its last Christmas service in its longtime home.<\/p>\n

Over the years the church has faced many trials and is one of many churches in the nation struggling<\/a> to bring back its in-person worship numbers since COVID-19. But for Mount Gilead, the fight to survive continues even if that means a move into a new location.<\/p>\n

Mount Gilead Baptist Church landed on Historic Fort Worth\u2019s 2025 Most Endangered Places list in late May. Over the summer, the congregation voted 19-4 to put the building on the market. Only eligible members, those who have been actively attending service and contributing to the church, could vote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The historic building is now listed for $3 million. A portion of the funds from the sale will go toward purchasing a new building while the rest will go toward fueling different outreach or internal ministries, Jones said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe got to set the next generation up for success,\u201d Jones said.<\/p>\n

For now, congregants still gather at the church every Sunday for vibrant worship while awaiting a buyer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A key thing Jones continually reminds congregants: The sale isn\u2019t the last chapter of Mount Gilead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis church has come very close to having to shut it down completely, but God has given us a second chance \u2026 we don\u2019t want to waste that chance,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\nHistory of the \u2018Mother Church\u2019\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

The church wears its years openly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The white Tuscan columns that greet congregants outside the red brick church have shrugged off some of the color. Light peering through the stained glass windows inside the church illuminates the paint escaping the walls. Pale rings showing where moisture once resided bloom on the ceilings. The wooden stairs groan underfoot as congregants proceed up to the balcony or down to the basement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Sept. 28, members and guests gathered for Mount Gilead Baptist Church\u2019s 150th anniversary service.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jones initially envisioned a grand celebration with city and county officials, but as the congregation considered logistics \u2014 limited parking, weathered stairs and an air conditioning unit that worked on its own terms \u2014 the group decided to postpone a more public festivity for the time being.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Instead, church members and guests gathered in the sanctuary to reflect on the congregation\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

In 1875, Pastor C.A. Augustus and 12 former slaves founded Mount Gilead Church and quickly grew to 40 members, according to historical records. They built a church near 15th and Crump streets in a Black settlement known then as \u201cBaptist Hill.\u201d<\/p>\n

Around 1883, the church\u2019s third pastor S.H. Smith oversaw construction of a new building off 13th Avenue and Jones Street.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Then Pastor Lacy Kirk Williams oversaw the construction of Mount Gilead\u2019s third building \u2014 and current church \u2014 located at 600 Grove St., completed in 1913. Wallace Rayfield, the nation\u2019s second formally trained African-American architect, contributed to the design of the neoclassical church \u2014 adorned with six columns and a stained glass dome.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The signature building now welcomes those driving into downtown from the east. But at the time, neighbored an area of town referred to as Fort Worth\u2019s \u201cBlack Wall Street,\u201d Jones said \u2014 a bustling area of African American-owned businesses, pharmacies, doctor\u2019s offices, barbershops, banks and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was not a coincidence that the church was central to it all, Jones said. Mount Gilead wasn\u2019t just a place for spiritual gatherings but served as an \u201cintegral part of togetherness,\u201d Jones said.<\/p>\n

The church had an indoor baptismal, a cafeteria, a nursery, a kindergarten and opera chairs in the balcony. Its library served as an educational hub filled with literature and once home to a paralegal school.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The basement was built to include an indoor swimming pool, offering Black families an accessible place to swim in a time where public pools were racially segregated, Jones explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can just see the fingerprints of the impact that Mount Gilead has had as the model for what a community-based church should look like,\u201d Jones said. \u201cI\u2019m proud to say we set the standard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Attendance was booming and by the 1920s, Mount Gilead was classified as a megachurch because of its large membership and local influence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The church was a hub for spiritual, cultural and community gatherings. World-renowned contralto singer Marian Anderson<\/a> once performed for guests in the sanctuary, Jones noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Christopher C. Harper served as Mount Gilead\u2019s longest-tenured pastor from 1943 to 1970, and was celebrated for installing central heating in the church, according to an archived portrait.<\/p>\n

Over the years, Mount Gilead became known as the \u201cmother church\u201d for Black Baptist churches across Fort Worth. Other congregations that came out of Mount Gilead include the Greater Saint James, Mount Zion and Pleasant Mount Gilead in Como, Jones said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Over the decades, towering high-rises swallowed the skyline. The church has a front row seat to the bustling interstate system that vastly helped grow the city around it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2016 the church made headlines when its then-pastor Patrick Rucker tried to sell the church. Rucker and church leaders planned to sell the property to Paradox Church at the time for $2.5 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Members of the church fought the plan by filing a temporary restraining order and successfully stopping the sale.<\/p>\n

Many people split from the church after the legal battle, Jones said.<\/p>\n

Jones was installed as the church\u2019s pastor in 2019 and remembers having 10 attendees during his first Sunday sermon.<\/p>\n

When he began leading the congregation, he promised members that if the church were to ever make the news again, it would not be for that reason, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of my goals was to shine a positive light on the things that we can do here and to bring the life of Christ back into the conversation about Mount Gilead,\u201d Jones said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The following year, COVID-19 rocked the church, like many across the nation. Services shifted online for the first time. He was concerned about the older congregants, many of whom he attended graveside funerals for during the pandemic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He waited a year and a half before going back to in-person worship. By then some people didn\u2019t come back, Jones said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

No matter how much money the congregation raised, it was difficult to keep up with major work needed, Jones said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Members raised about $25,000 to fix the air conditioning system, for example. The congregation was able to replace the AC fans and they did work for a while but they were \u201coperating like a new system on an old platform,\u201d Jones said. The system was outdated to the extent that some parts were no longer made.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During the week of Thanksgiving, some of the original galvanized steel pipes burst, Jones. Considering the nature of the aged building, a replacement can be expensive, he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Deciding the future of the church took time and wasn\u2019t easy, Jones said.<\/p>\n

After years of debating and talking about it among other church leadership, they came to a decision.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIt\u2019s time for us to make a move.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Just because the congregation will one day no longer gather at its downtown building, it \u201cdoes not mean that it stops here,\u201d Jones said during one fall service. Members are \u201ccharged\u201d to keep the legacy going \u201cfor the good of those who love the Lord,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After all, before there was Mount Gilead \u2014 or anything for that matter \u2014 there \u201cwas the word,\u201d Jones preached.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m here to tell you today that a pastor and 12 former slaves looked at the words \u2018In the beginning\u2019 and they saw that they could not do it without Jesus,\u201d Jones preached from the pulpit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThey believed in something bigger than themselves. And it was worth more than their blood, their sweat, their tears so that Jesus is the answer, and he can pull you to your potential.\u201d<\/p>\n

Congregants reflect on memories, legacy<\/strong><\/p>\n

DeLois Jean Paley remembers the kindness she felt when she first entered Mount Gilead Baptist Church in 1960.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She joined after moving to Fort Worth with her husband and worked as a special education teacher and later at a pre-kindergarten school in the city. Her husband was an Army veteran who worked as an art and history teacher at I.M. Terrell Academy, the city\u2019s first public school for Black students and O.D. Wyatt High School.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Congregants didn\u2019t show their warmth by just their words but by actions, Paley said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you didn\u2019t have transportation, members made sure you had the means of coming to church. When you were sick, they were right there to help you, Paley said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mount Gilead\u2019s downtown building holds fond memories, she said. It was the place where both her children were baptized.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At first, Paley was not in support of the church\u2019s sale. Today, the 91-year-old\u2019s perspective has shifted. Mount Gilead may become more than what it was in the past if congregants continue to be faithful in God, she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat God has done for this church is because we were so faithful in everything that he allowed us to stay here this long,\u201d Paley said. \u201cGod will not forsake you nor leave you. So he will be there for us, no matter where we go.\u201d<\/p>\n

An hour and half before service, Joseph Cantey is the one opening the church doors, turning the lights on and making sure the space is clean and prepared for worship.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cantey, one of the deacons of Mount Gilead, joined the church in 1995. The building holds fond memories, like meeting his wife.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Today, the 77-year-old said he has no regrets about leaving the building.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI just want to be moving forward no matter what happens because I am still going to be a part of this family,\u201d Cantey said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"Deacon Joseph Cantey holds his hands together during a service at Mount Gilead Baptist Church on Dec. 21, 2025. (Maria Crane | Fort Worth Report\/CatchLight Local\/Report for America)<\/p>\n

Xavier Clark, 32, is one of the newer members of the church, joining six years ago after moving from Arkansas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He noticed Mount Gilead didn\u2019t have a keyboardist and drummer, so he filled in. Over time he began to learn and appreciate the church\u2019s legacy in the city.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Clark wants the congregation to grow, but he wonders if the condition of their current home is a barrier \u201cbetween people coming in and us growing and making that stamp on the city,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me and my spirituality, we are the church \u2014 the people are the church. Wherever we reside, it doesn\u2019t matter,\u201d Clark said. \u201cAs long as we are lifting up and worshiping God.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now, 150 years later and a move looming ahead, everyone wants to know what the congregation\u2019s next steps are, Jones said during the anniversary service.<\/p>\n

Some may think it\u2019s the end of Mount Gilead, he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not the end of the story because we’re still here,\u201d Jones added.<\/p>\n

With a napkin, he wiped away beads of sweat building up on his brow. The air conditioning and circulating fans struggled with the Texas heat that day as the sanctuary\u2019s high ceilings, large windows and poorly insulated walls made it difficult to keep cool.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThey would probably say, \u2018You look a whole lot like we did,\u2019\u201d Jones said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The pastor gazed out into the room. Scattered among the historic wooden pews sat about 25 members and guests: mothers and daughters, brothers and sisters, grandmas and grandpas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The founding congregants might say they, too, didn\u2019t have a whole lot of people. They might also add that they didn\u2019t have any AC either because it wasn\u2019t invented yet, Jones said.<\/p>\n

Even though the journey is different today, both congregations once were and still are \u201ca handful of people, just wanting to do more for Christ,\u201d Jones stressed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The congregation that stands before Fort Worth today is a testimony of the power of Jesus\u2019 name, he said \u2014 how Christ brought worshippers through significant moments of history: slavery, Jim Crow, the Civil Rights Movement, world wars, COVID-19.<\/p>\n

In the beginning 12 freed slaves and a pastor \u201caccepted the challenge of Christ and walked into their potential,\u201d Jones said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThey would probably look at us today and say, \u2018If God could do all of this through us, how much more could he do through you?\u201d Jones said, addressing the crowd.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMount Gilead, we aren\u2019t just a part of history,\u201d Jones said. \u201cWe are still making history.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
