Assessment

MOOP's parents attended Honea Baptist Church 'on that road in Montgomery [TX]' — FM 2854. Small SBC congregation in Tryon Evergreen Baptist Association. CONGREGATION CLOSED in May 2020: members voted to dissolve and gifted the property to Hope Church Montgomery (hopemontgomery.com), which completed renovations on the building in November 2020. The successor congregation now meets at the same site. Maintained as a defunct historical record because of MOOP-family attendance.
