Save Miami's Historic St John Baptist Church

Scripture reminds us that what was meant for evil, God can turn around for good - we humbly ask for your help.

For the last 117 years, the St. John Institutional Missionary Baptist Church has been a vital part of Miami's Overtown community. Some of our congregants are fifth generation church members, carrying on their family's legacies providing essential services and spiritual support for those who need them most.

But parts of the historic church could close forever, unless we can raise enough money to pay off the mountain of debt incurred under our former pastor. You may have heard our story on Channel 10 news. https://www.local10.com/news/local/2023/05/23/much-of-historic-overtown-church-could-be-sold-in-foreclosure-congregants-blame-ex-pastor/

Please consider making a donation to pay off this enormous loan and restore our historic sanctuary. We know that with your support, we can help save one of Miami's oldest churches - and continue serving as a place of worship for future generations.
