The West Park Presbyterian Church will remain as a church. The congregation may decide to find a non-profit partner to work with inside the
building but we in the community are working to fund the repairs to this now-landmarked building. Rev. Robert Brashear will join us at the event and
share his willingness to work with the community. Landmarks West!, Friends of West Park and other groups are also participating in this event.
