Waxahachie Rotary Club, volunteers help renovate historic building, inside and out
Waxahachie Daily Light
After months of work, Messiah Church of the Living God Independent has a new look, with help from local volunteers in Waxahachie.
The project for the historic building began on Nov. 7, led by Rotary Club members Eric Epperley, Jamal Rasheed and Von Aday.
Now, looking at the exterior, the church built in 1920 looks completely different than before the renovations took place.
“I drove by, and I didn t like how the church looked, shared Dr. Jamal Rasheed, founder of the Ellis County African Hall of Fame Museum and Library. I asked somebody to get in touch with the pastor, and then the pastor got in touch with me, and I came and I talked to his congregation about what could possibly be done to restore and bring it back to its historic preservation.
