Christ Castle Church In Canaan Land

We ask for your sacrificial giving to help us fund our first physical church in the USA.  Learn more about this church at: www.ChristCastle.org  

We are an ecumenical Church meaning we represent all of Christendom, including Catholics, Protestants, and Orthodox. Our Church has no Masonic or political affiliations. 

We are legally incorporated as Castle Church, Canaan,  which is a non-profit Church. All donations to this GofundMe campaign are tax deductible.  Please make sure  you ask for a tax-deductible receipt. Details of the incorporation for Christ Castle Church:
 
Name: CASTLE CHURCH CANAAN, INC.
Incorporation ID: 1309302
Business Type: Domestic Nonprofit Corporation 
Date of Formation: May 13, 2019
Duration: Perpetual "To form a christian, non-denominational church for the worship of and propagation of the Word of God and Gospel of Jesus Christ."

Christ Castle Church takes its name from Psalm 18:2:
“God is the bedrock under my feet, the castle in which I live, my rescuing knight. My God – the high crag where I run for dear life, hiding behind the boulders, safe in the granite hideout.”  – MSG

We would like to purchase Christ Castle Church in Connecticut, as our first physical church to hold Christian services every Sunday.   All three buildings are included in our purchase: the beautiful stone sanctuary, Church Hall, and bell tower.

Christ Castle Church has plans for several ways to outreach to our community so we can have a greater impact in helping the poor, lost, and all those who can't help themselves. We have plans for a food bank, homeless ministry, and most importantly, Christian services every week. We seek to spread the love of Jesus Christ to lost souls. 

This church, built in 1845, was designed by renowned British Architect Richard Upjohn who also designed the famous Trinity Church of Wall Street, NYC:

The church sits across the street from the historic train station that will soon contain the Train Museum, Beer Brewing company and oldest dinner in the nation.

The church is situated just 30 min south of the famous Berkshire vacation area that includes the music venue, Tanglewood:  https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g41639-d107514-Reviews-Tanglewood-Lenox_Massachusetts.html 

The church is also 2 hours north of NYC and 1 hour from Hartford's Bradley International Airport. The church sits 17 minutes from the Twin Lakes recreation area that include boating, fishing, swimming and a golf course: https://bestandcavallaro.com/area-info/twin-lakes/?fbclid=IwAR3FhKC7xPANjkHv0zCpXp63Bu0Torah_DLSzhtybb1jISdN-VxgrvcFX0I
