The Need
Last month, code enforcement did an exterior inspection of the church citing areas of concern which included porches and windows.
Pastor Daniels remarked, “While we are thankful the department recently agreed to extend the time we have to make repairs, our small and dedicated congregation just went through a pledge drive for roof repair work...the expense is just outside of our immediate means.” He continued, “We are seeking the community’s help to tackle what the the city is telling us we need to do to bring our church building into compliance.”
First Lady Daniels commented, “We hope individuals will be moved to give generously in honor of the deep and lasting legacy of Pastor Daniels who has dedicated his entire life to bringing hope, joy and love touching many lives in our City.”

Building History
Jane Tragiere of the Jewish Historical Society of Western Massachusetts places the 1321 Dwight Street building as the second and longest running synagogue to be built in the City of Springfield for Jews from Eastern Europe and Russia in the 1920s known as the Russische Shul. In 1980 it was purchased by Pastor Daniels to be the permanent home of Daniels New Bethel Church of God in Christ (COGIC).
