The Guardian Project
Our beloved building at 107 N. 7th Street in Cañon City is in need of repairs. The Guardian Project seeks to raise funds in the amount of $120,000 to repair, restore, and preserve our historic church.
As a part of this effort, we are applying for a grant from the Colorado State Historical Preservation Office.
If we are awarded grant funds, we must raise $35,000 in matching funds.

From: Sammy Burman
Date: September 27, 2023
It is my understanding that the First Baptist Church of Canon City Colorado has applied for a grant to complete necessary repairs in order to maintain the historical and aesthetic value of this building.
As a current resident born and raised in Canon City, as well as a business owner in the downtown district, I support the need of this Grant.
