Help Our Church Remain In My Forerunners Bloodline
Donation protected
I would like to keep the Brevard's Chapel United Methodist Church in the bloodline of my forerunners. This church has been in our family for decades, and the United Methodist Denomination has now closed the church. The denomination is allowing other Methodist churches the right to buy/transfer the property when the original deed declared to keep the property within the heirs. Eventhough new deeds and transactions occurred over the years. I want to keep my family legacy known in the Denver area.
The church was built shortly after Emancipation in the 1870's. Black families had no place to worship God corporately inside of a physical building. My grandmother's great-grandfather Brevard and other local families came together to assist in building a church for blacks to worship. Brevard's Chapel has been a church for all races until the day the doors were padlocked by the United Methodist Denomination due to the small membership, the financial struggles to pay the church dues to the denomination and other limited resources to expand.
Please help sustain this church's legacy and keep it in the hands of its rightful trustees within the bloodline.
