The Adventist Church Destroyed in The Tulsa Race Massacre
Written by:

June 1, 2021, was the 100th anniversary of the horrific Greenwood Massacre. This event involved the attack and fire-bombing a predominately Black section of Tulsa, Oklahoma, killing many people, and burning down many businesses and homes of the area known as “Black Wall Street.”
While reading several articles recounting this appalling incident, I noticed an interactive digital map that indicated a “Bethel Seventh Day Church” that was in the section that was burned (“What the Tulsa Race Massacre Destroyed”, New York Times).
[1] Seeing this church sparked my curiosity, and I began a quick dive into the response of Seventh-day Adventist Church to the destruction of one of their churches.
Elder Denise White, a pastor, was one of the participants. The class was her idea. She and the church know that the West Side’s health needs are far-ranging.
“The West Virginian population tends to be at the lower levels of all the health indexes across the board,” she said.
The state ranks
Across West Virginia, faith-based organizations are filling needs in their communities. Beyond spiritual guidance, places of worship can offer their members a sense of community, and resources like food and clothing.
Elder White says her place of worship gives out food baskets regularly, serving hundreds of people at a time. With the coronavirus pandemic, the church found itself hosting free COVID-19 testing. It also streamed a Facebook video of their leading pastor, Bishop Robert Haley III, getting a coronavirus vaccine earlier this year, to encourage others to do the same.
