Another Newark Main Street apartment project in the works, but this one isn't for students The News Journal
Metropolitan Theodosios of Kinshasa, currently on a new missionary tour, recently visited the city of Kenge in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where a church is being constructed in honor of Saint Gerasimos the Hymnographer.
During his visit, the Metropolitan inspected the progress of the churchs construction and expressed satisfaction with the advancements made so far.
He addressed the faithful and the workers, speaking about the event of the Resurrection of the Lord. Together, they sang Christ is Risen, and the Metropolitan expressed his hope that, once the church construction is completed, the community will have a permanent priest to meet their ongoing worship needs.
Later in the afternoon, the missionary group traveled to the town of Kikwit, home to the parish of Saints Athanasios of Alexandria and Eleftherios. The priests and faithful of Kikwit warmly welcomed the Metropolitan of Kinshasa and his entourage.

The 140-year-old temple in downtown Charlottesville that once served as the home of the historically Black Mount Zion Baptist Church is returning to its roots and will, once again, be a fully operational house of worship.
The Charlottesville-based nondenominational Point Church has acquired the building at 105 Ridge St. for $1.3 million, about 25% lower than its assessed value of $1.7 million and about 60% more than the $713,000 it last sold for in 2004.
Since 2004, the property has been home to the Music Resource Center, a nonprofit, music-based, after-school program that works with students particularly from Buford Middle School and Charlottesville High School.
The Point Church said it plans to officially begin operating out of the Ridge Street property in April of 2025 and will continue to lease the first floor of the building to the Music Resource Center until the nonprofit group relocates to its new facility on Cherry Avenue sometime in 2026.
The brick, steepled church on Ridge Street in downtown Charlottesville first opened its doors in 1884.
The Church of the Good Shepherd, an Anglican congregation that is relatively new to Charlottesville, has been using the churchs worship space since last year, sharing the property with the Music Resource Center. But according to city records, that church has recently acquired a property at 750 Hinton Ave. in Charlottesvilles Belmont neighborhood from the Hinton Avenue Methodist Church. That $1.5 million is about 50% lower than the propertys assessed value of $3 million. City Council in 2019 allowed the land to be rezoned for the Methodist church to begin construction of an affordable housing project there called Rachels Haven. Although construction was slated to begin sometime this year, so far no units have been built.
Back on Ridge Street, the Point Church says it is planning on converting the old Mount Zion space into a new downtown campus for its congregation.
Chip Measells, the churchs executive director, says the mission behind the downtown campus will be to serve individuals in the community dealing with financial struggles as well as offering coworking space for local nonprofit organizations that are dedicated to similar causes.
Through several innovative programs, we aim to address the root causes of systemic poverty, providing immediate relief and long-term empowerment for our neighbors, said Measells in a statement.
The Point Church on Pantops just east of Charlottesville was founded in 2009.
The historic Mount Zion building is a little less than 3 miles away from the Point Churchs other Charlottesville location on Hansen Road on Pantops, which was founded in 2009 along with another campus based in the town of Louisa east of the city. The downtown development is a part of an ongoing expansion throughout Central Virginia for the Point Church; a new campus in Waynesboro is expected to open later this fall.
This strategic acquisition marks a significant step in our mission to expand our presence and service within the community, said Measells.
The Black congregation at Mount Zion Baptist Church first opened its doors at 105 Ridge St. in 1884, but they had been gathering and worshipping together decades before that.
The congregation was formed in 1864, when Black congregants split from the racially segregated White Baptist church in Charlottesville. At first they met in the residence of one of their congregants, but soon outgrew the space and, in 1875, built a wooden church in a lot next door.
Less than 10 years later, the congregation moved again, this time into the newly completed brick church on Ridge Street, designed by George Wilson Spooner, a Charlottesville architect who was involved in construction on the University of Virginia Rotunda.
Embellished in the 1890s with its steeple, stained-glass windows, and pipe organ, the church became a symbol of the growing importance of Charlottesvilles black community, according to the Virginia Department of Historic Resources.
The Mount Zion congregation would remain there for nearly 120 years, when under the leadership of the Rev. Alvin Edwards, the church moved in 2003 to a new home at 105 Lankford Ave. less than a mile south, where it remains to this day.
Since 2004, the Mount Zion Baptist Church property in downtown Charlottesville has been home to the Music Resource Center, a nonprofit, music-based, after-school program.
With a police escort, and a large banner leading the way, many members marched (in remembrance of deceased members), others rode buses, from our old edifice at 105 Ridge Street to our new edifice at 105 Lankford Avenue, reads an official church history posted on its website. As we entered the new edifice singing our theme, Were Marching to Zion, both young and old gave thanks to God for his continued blessings.
The building at 105 Ridge St. was enshrined in the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
The Point Church is holding an open house at the church building from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. this Tuesday. Pastor Gabe Turner will be speaking about the organizations plans for the campus at multiple sessions throughout the day, at 9 a.m., noon and 2 p.m.

Construction to begin soon on new Holy Rosary Church building - Davis Enterprise
A new church on Eau Claire's south side started to take shape Friday.
TOWN OF WASHINGTON (WQOW) - A new church on Eau Claire's south side started to take shape Friday.
This morning as the sun came up, the first walls went up at what will soon be Haven Church.
Construction has been underway the past few weeks at the corner of Highway 93 and Deerfield Road. Friday, the group Builders for Christ kicked off construction of the $5 million project.
Builders for Christ is a national volunteer group. Over the next 16 weeks, 900 volunteers will travel to Eau Claire on their own dime and help with construction.
The pastor of Haven Church, James Whatley, said the free labor will save them about a million dollars.
"Personally for me, we live in a world that is really isolated. Being able to come together, particularly post Covid, is such a tremendous blessing. We just think Jesus brings hope and community and a positive future," he said.
The church hopes to be in the new 16,000 foot facility by November. In addition to a lot larger space, the church will also have a nursery, children's education area and an outdoor pollinator garden.
