Black Forest Community Church
El Paso County
The Black Forest Community Church consists of the original 1940 log church building with bell tower, a good example of the Pioneer Log type, and the 1962 sanctuary building, an example of the Modern Movement style with laminated-wood piers, cross-gabled projecting roof lines, and stained glass windows by local artist Al Wynne.
The continually used community-built landmark reflects the identity and history of the Black Forest community.
An SHF-funded project completed an assessment and construction documents for the restoration of the building's log exterior.
