Pastor Leonard killings of Advent Lutheran Church in Cleveland, Ohio shares the story of Adent Lutheran Church having an historical marker placed on its building.
While the congregation is sixty years old, he describes its uniqueness as this event contributes to the history of Black Lutheran history and American Church history. He recalls its history as a mission developed in Lee-Harvard, a middle-class Black community. The architects of the building were Black twins who were just beginning their careers and Advent was their first major project.
Killings describes the criterion measures for landmark designation as well the process which took over a year a half. While the landmark designation is a remembrance of its past, Advent congregational members also see it as a commitment to Word and Sacrament ministry, Word and Service ministry and dedication to remain in the Lee-Harvard community of Cleveland, Ohio.
