Context/Comments
Built in 1956-57, this building is one of Mississippi's most distinctive Mid-Century Modern churches.

Because of its date of construction in the 1950s, this building was originally listed as a non-contributing element (element #27) in the Uptown Vicksburg Historic District, which was added to the National Register on 19 August 1993. More recently its status was changed to contributing when it was included as element #30 in the Uptown Vicksburg Amendment and Boundary Increase No. 2, which was added to the National Register on 4 February 2020.

It is included in "Buildings of Mississippi" (2020) (p.73, YB6).
