The historic Swedish Baptist church is one of the most important religious buildings in Kansas City.  Founded by eight Swedish immigrants in the late 1800’s, the church had more than 1,000 members for nearly a hundred years.  Narthex acquired the property in 2017 as 17 faithful members continued to worship every Sunday while struggling to maintain the building.  Today, after a slew of new and modern upgrades, new paint and carpet, Swedish Baptist has returned to its former glory and is home to a thriving new start up church.
