Community Wellness
The Bottom Community has been the home of the Eloise Lundy Rec Center, and the Golden Gate Missionary Baptist Church for many years. Golden Gate is one of the oldest stakeholder within The Bottom Community (80 years). Both have long been the glue of the community to address the spiritual and quality of life issues that confront the citizenry of the Bottom. Through its advocacy, discipleship and service, Golden Gate has served the community to work on its behalf and to always remain responsive to its needs. Lundy Rec Center has long offered a place of fellowship and engagement for the children, seniors and families residing in the neighborhood.
