Legacy Campaign

Ms. Eleanor Addison

 JANUARY 13, 1943 – FEBRUARY 29, 2020

Collins Chapel C.M.E. Church, the first and oldest African American church in Memphis, has a long, illustrious legacy of leaders.  Eleanor Addison was very special among them.  Her love, energy and contributions to Collins Chapel were immeasurable.  She successfully led this campaign since its inception.  It is therefore, respectfully named in her honor.

The Legacy Campaign was conceived to provide necessary funding for Collins Chapel’s ministries and responsibilities.  These funds are also utilized for the necessary upkeep of our spiritual home which is over 140 years old and on the National Register of Historic Places.  

We pray that by God’s grace and your help, we can do what Eleanor always did…surpass the goal.
