Grace and peace to the Athens community. I am Pastor Marben Bland of Greater Bethel AME Church. After prayer, careful study, and a unanimous church vote, Greater Bethel has decided to demolish the Maddox Center building within the next 60 days.

For more than 40 years, the building has remained vacant, and time and deterioration have left it beyond practical restoration. It is also uninsured and uninsurable, creating serious legal and financial risks.

While the Maddox Center carries deep history and memories, God’s mission is greater than any one building. As Matthew 16:18 reminds us, the church is built upon people and faith.

We invite the community to help shape the future vision for this property by attending listening sessions we are hosting at the church on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 26 and 27, at 6:00 PM, and on Saturday, May 30, at 1:00 PM.   Details about these sessions are available on our website, gbaathens.org.
