An institution in the Greencastle community has received a hefty national grant that will go towards supporting its restoration and preservation.
Gobin Memorial United Methodist Church, which has been around since 1928, recently received a $500 thousand grant from the National Fund for Sacred Places, a program of Partners for Sacred Places in collaboration with the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
The grant will be used to help replace the original slate roof, masonry and plaster repair, window restoration, accessibility upgrades, and other essential improvements with the goal of keeping Gobin a vibrant, community resource.
“This is a transformative moment for Gobin Church,” said Rev. Bryan Langdoc, lead pastor. “This grant not only honors the architectural and historic significance of our building—it also affirms the vitality of our congregation and our mission to serve Greencastle as a place of belonging, beauty, and justice.”
The Greencastle church was one of 30 nationwide that received a portion of more than $8.7 million in total grant funding.
