How did they build a church out here? This is the question that might have crossed the minds of early worshippers as they gathered at the Mount Horeb Missionary Baptist Church. Mount Horeb Missionary Baptist Church started its life in 1916, not in this grand structure you see now, but a humble dwelling at the corner of Lowery and Sunday streets. Back then, this area of South Dallas was a far cry from the bustling cityscape it is today. It was a pecan grove near-wilderness, attracting black families seeking land and opportunity. Imagine those early days– the year is 1918, and the congregation constructs a simple “shotgun” structure, their first house of worship, using the very foundation of a brush arbor they had used before. This area flooded frequently. Can you envision worshipping by the light of oil lamps, the wind threatening to extinguish your only source of light during evening services? Life was different then. These were resilient souls, determined to build a community of faith in this new frontier. The Mount Horeb Missionary Baptist Church they built, brick by brick, prayer by prayer, stands as a testament to their enduring faith, echoing with over a century of stories.
