The 2022 Cohort of the National Fund for Sacred Places
In October , Partners and the National Trust for Historic Preservation welcomed sixteen new congregations into the 2022 cohort of the National Fund for Historic Places . Collectively , these congregations are slated to receive over $ 2.1 million in grant funding . The congregations are :
• Dover Friends Meetinghouse ( Dover , NH )
• East Mount Zion Baptist Church ( Cleveland , OH )
• Ebenezer Baptist Church ( Atlanta , GA )
• First Presbyterian Church of Wilkes- Barre ( Wilkes-Barre , PA )
• Greenstone United Methodist Church ( Chicago , IL )
• Immanuel Presbyterian Church ( Albuquerque , NM )
• Saint Mark ’ s Church ( Philadelphia , PA )
• St . Rita Catholic Church ( Indianapolis , IN )
• Union United Methodist Church ( Boston , MA )
• Wicker Park Lutheran Church ( Chicago , IL ) of the reform movement of the Anglican Church of England .
