The Green Street Church
Englewood’s first church was originally on Green Street in Englewood. Built in 1928 by the Methodist congregation, this building, recognized by the Sarasota County Register of Historic Places, was moved and saved by the Lemon Bay Historical Society. Still known as “The Green Street Church” the iconic building is now located next to the historic Lemon Bay Cemetery at 510 S. Indiana Ave., Englewood.
The Historical Society is responsible for maintaining the Historic Green Street Church building and its property. These expenses include lawn mowing, water, electricity, landscaping maintenance, insurance, taxes and building upkeep.
Help us maintain this historic landmark and help us continue our Community Outreach with lectures & presentations at the church and our gift to the community: the annual Cracker Fair.
Whether you help through monetary donations, volunteering your time, or spreading our mission through word-of-mouth, thank you.
We couldn’t accomplish our goals without the help of supporters like you.
