Office of Church Historian & Tours
The Office of the Church Historian is responsible for archiving and maintaining the church’s documents, media, and artifacts. In 2003, the Reverend William Smith Jr. approved the use of the second floor of a church-owned building to catalog and preserve all of the historical information about the church that could be located. The History and Archives Committee consisting of Frances T. Mack, Marvin Stewart, Marlena Davis, Monique Washington, and Willi Glee sorted and cataloged the information. The committee, along with George Pettigrew, painted the space, and Reverend Stephen Singleton approved the cost to install the new carpeting. The committee purchased and installed picture rails to hang pictures. They also bought and hung new drapes to cover the windows to diffuse any possible damage to the collection that may be caused by direct sunlight.
Vandag bestuur die historici toerisme by die kerk. Die hoofaanbieders is Lee Bennett Jr. en Willi Glee, Emeritus. Hulle bied historiese lesings aan groepe op versoek aan.
