Mt. Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church Makes History

:::Houston, Texas:::

“The Building Committee of Mt. Pilgrim Baptist Church selected Century Builders for many reasons. Century was honest in their presentation, and provided guidance and maintained a high level of communication throughout the entire process.  The Committee felt that Century possessed the size, skills, and execution plan that offered the best opportunity to control construction costs and pass on savings to Mt. Pilgrim.

 “It was the Building Committee’s preference to utilize Century’s Design/ Build Service as opposed to an architect and separate general contractor type arrangement.  Facts and references pointed to the conclusion that design/builders are better able to control the cost of the project from start to finish.  Most of the architects did not appear very concerned about construction cost control or accountability for the project.”

Mt. Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church has a long and successful history of ministry in the Heights area of Houston, Texas.  Founded in November of 1925, the church continues to grow and is “alive and well” according to Pastor G. T. Curry, Sr.

In March of 2003, Century Builders completed construction of a new 12,500 sq. ft.  Education Building that ties in to the present church facility.  The brick and EFIS exterior was designed to blend with the traditional style of original structure. “Building in this historic area with the long existing city infrastructure, presented some unique challenges, stated Jeff Balette, Project Manager. “But it was a real pleasure to work with the great people of Mt. Pilgrim.”

Features of the new Education Building include classrooms, nursery facilities, offices and a youth assembly space.  The Dedication Service will be celebrated on March 30, 2003 and Mt. Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church will continue making history.
