about

Father's Day Retro Vintage Texture

The "City of Compassion" project, sponsored by Greater Compassion Community Initiatives, is a community-wide effort to save, preserve, and restore a monumental landmark in the heart of Nashville. This property was previously approved by the Nashville City Council for demolition. However, with your help it can remain a beacon of light in the community.


The Ebenezer A.M.E. church, founded in 1867, is the first African Methodist Episcopal church in Nashville. Its' rich history represents a legacy of freedom, opportunity, and future progress. The nostalgic characteristics of this building is a precious reminder of ancestral struggle, perseverance, and faith. It is a priceless treasure worth preserving!
