Construction Begins to Restore First Christian Church Tower, Having Secured more than $3M in Funding

Restoration work is underway on the $3.2m First Christian Church “Save Our Tower” project after The Friends of First Christian Church Architecture Fund at Heritage Fund met all qualifications to secure a $500,000 Challenge Grant from the Jeffris Family Foundation. This marks a milestone at one of the most iconic religious buildings in America, and Landmark Columbus Foundation is celebrating by hosting its third event in the Progressive Preservation Talks Series on Saturday, April 21 at 1:00 pm at the nearby Helen Haddad Hall.
