The Bastrop Christian Church is in need of a little love after nearly 130 years on Church Street. The community is raising funds for emergency structural repairs and to fix its 27 stained-glass windows.
The preservation committee said the church needs some repairs, so they’re hosting a fundraiser this weekend and next.
"When you go to small towns, you see these small churches, sometimes they’re brick, sometimes they’re stone, and often they’re wooden and it’s the wooden churches that are hard to retain over decades and decades," Building Preservation Committee Chair Earl Ellisor said."We’re trying to save this one and make sure it’s safe for future generations and it’s become rather iconic in Downtown Bastrop," Ellisor said.
