Alberta Abbey open house, May 22nd.
The Abbey…
This historical church was originally built in 1924, the church at 126 NE Alberta Ave (in King Neighborhood) has been known by various names, most recently Mallory Avenue Baptist Church.
In June of 2012, the building was acquired by Alberta Abbey Fellowship (AAF). AAF’s mission is to restore and revitalize this building, offering it up to the community for mixed use, and it is now known as the Alberta Abbey.
Join the Abbey for an open house and party on Thursday, May 22nd!
