Light House Building and Ministry Fund
Donation protected
Hello everyone! Thank you for taking the time to donate to our cause!
We are raising funds for the Light House! These funds are needed for ongoing building restoration and facilities cost as well as reoccurring ministry cost related to the facilities and outreach to serve our amazing city!
The Light House at 1090 California St is the oldest standing church structure in Redding, Ca and was originally an A.M.E Zion Church plant built in 1894 and the oldest standing A.M.E. building in the state of Ca. It is an iconic building in the city of Redding and stands as a cornerstone on the list of the Redding's historical buildings.
We now operate a ministry of love, hope, and the transforming power of the gospel of Jesus Christ serving some of the most downcast and broken in our community. We have hundreds who walk through our doors each month looking for hope, freedom, and to be accepted, in this we have seen the Light House become a bridge to a new life and are so thankful for the lives that God is transforming. We have become a light to the front lines of a portion of our community that to the traditional church is often unreachable. The location of the The Light House/A.M.E Zion building is in downtown Redding in an area known for homelessness, prostitution, and drug addiction. We believe the restoration of the building is symbolic to the restoration God is doing in our amazing community.
As it is the oldest standing church in Redding and founded by African American pioneers immigrating from the east coast following the civil war; the building stands as a symbol of church unity, reconciliation, and restoration of our downtown.
This building has sat in an unfinished stated of restoration for several years and the time is now to completed!
We believe that the restoration and proper stewardship of this iconic structure and the ministry we are engaged in, will have considerable impact in the morale of the downtown and will quickly become a gem to be seen in our wonderful city regardless of religion, race, or social standing.
The funds that are raised will go towards the building restoration and ongoing facilities and ministry needs. This will include-
- Landscaping (currently a dirt lot around building )
- Completing the exterior painting
- Interior Flooring renovation
- Light Fixtures, electrical, and sound
- signage
- Fencing
- Storage for ministry and community outreach
- Ongoing facilities and ministry costs
- Administrative costs
- Skilled labor
Thank You for caring for this amazing building and ministry!
In unity and working together we will see this city transformed!
Please feel free to let us know any questions you may have regarding this need.
