Our Corporation is organized and operated exclusively for charitable, educational, health and religious purposes. Our mission is to decrease the disproportionate burden of disease and early loss of life among medically undeserved communities through education, empowerment, partnerships and interventional strategies that impact determinants of health globally.

Your help is greatly needed in growing stronger Youth and supporting Seniors, Veteran Families and the Homeless in a food desert neighborhoods through providing them with free fresh fruits and vegetables, a learning space for garden stewardship where we grow organic produce, educate our children, and provide healthy habitats for local flora and fauna. Most importantly, a place where our Seniors share knowledge from their farming and fishing years with our Young People to be able to sustain themselves with these skills throughout the years.

As believers, we understand that the love of Christ isn’t meant to be kept to ourselves. It’s a love that reaches out and gives it forward. For each and every student that has supported us we express our deepest thanks. Our students are not just learners; they are change makers, extending Christ’s love through their generosity. Whether you give back to WECGOD through a financial donation – large or small, or simply support by spreading the Word or through your prayers – thank you!

We hope you continue to join us in this blessed journey of giving back and witness how your generosity can light up lives!

The Chapman Doss family would like to publicly thank our supporters for their annual gifts along with the Administrative Secretary of our Corporations, Executive Catherine Wright. Gethsemane Missionary and St. John Baptist Churches for their continued support. And a special thanks to Overseer Michael Chapman who was appointed Chairman of Economic Development in 2018 for the Progressive National Baptist Convention, Inc. Since that appointment has allowed our Youth and Advisors to travel with the Buffalo’s Black Billion Comprehensive Collaborative Urban Development Model to Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Maryland; Altoona, Pennsylvania; Cleveland, Ohio; Panama and Miami, Florida where he received the Keys to the City for this model, as well as internationally depressed areas in Jamaica and Bahamas. Thanks to Overseer Chapman’s generosity and generous supporters like you, we’ve been partnering with schools and working alongside residents to address food desert neighborhoods around the world.

Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down and shaken together and running over, shall men give into your bosom(lap). For with the same measure you mete(use), withal it shall be measured to you again.

– Luke 6:38

In Christ,

Opened in 1874, this $1.4 million restoration project was prepared by the Clinton Brown Company Architecture, PC of Buffalo, known for its renewing of historic buildings and heritage places.

“We will use our donation to begin discussions with local foundations to match it or do more to help us complete this restoration, which we believe will help us restore that community,” Pastor Chapman said. “We plan to begin the renovation in the spring, and it will include a renovation of the original sanctuary, the parsonage, kitchen, cafeteria and restoring the original pipe organ.”

WECGOD II had previously donated $400,000 to the project for a new roof, masonry work, a new boiler and stabilizing the building.

Jonathan D. Epstein from Buffalo News spoke with Reverend Chapman and Minister Ina regarding the church’s renovation and their plans for added amenities that will benefit the community. Click here to read article.
