Rebuilding the old St.Matthews Church
Donation protected
The Way Christian Community recently purchased the old St. Matthew's Church located at 1066 East Ferry Street. The Way CC's vision is to open the churches doors once again and bring faith, hope and love back into the community.
St. Matthew's church was founded in 1908 and completed in 1928 and once it's doors opened it began making a change in the community with its diversity, education and compassion for people. Unfortunately St. Matthew's had to close it's doors back in 1998. An unsuccessful attempt to rebuild the church was made back in 2006. The Way CC is looking into all resources to rebuild this gorgeous building which was modeled after the Cathedral of Aachen in Aachen, Germany and built in Romanesque style.
The Way Christian Community is currently in hopes of completing phase #1 of the rebuilding project and is appealing to friends and family as we look to raise $30,000 by asking 1,500 friends and family to donate $20.00. We ask that if The Way CC or the ministry of Bishop Emilio Alvarez has been a blessing to you that you consider donating in order to rebuild a structure and reinvigorate a community with the gospel of Peace.
