MISSION
BETHANY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Bronzeville Push for Peace is more than an event — it's a movement.
Hosted by Bethany Church, this community-focused initiative is a call to action to address violence and create a safer, thriving neighborhood for everyone.
Together, we can spark change and empower the families, businesses, and youth in Bronzeville to live without fear.
ABOUT THE EVENT
The Bronzeville Push For Peace event was created to unite the Bronzeville community alongside the City of Columbus.
According to our mayor, Andrew Ginther, “The city had 180 homicides in 2020 and 204 in homicides in 2021. Of the homicides that occurred last year, 91% involved the use of a firearm."
For decades, the Bronzeville community has been the home of strong African American entrepreneurship, culture, and faith. However, over the years, the city’s lack of investment into our community has created a vacuum filled with symptoms of oppression and poverty.
