Spirited Development
Pastor presses on with $500M neighborhood initiative
- by Tracey Drury
 Companies complain all the time about the difficulty of recruiting and retaining quality workers, while
thousands of people struggle to find good-paying jobs.
The Rev. Michael Chapman is working on solutions to both
problems. He's doing it while advancing a $500 million development for the Fruit Belt neighborhood on Buffalo's East Side.
"This is going to be a major initiative in putting minorities to work," he says. "This will create 15,000
jobs over the next 10 years. There's not another project like this anywhere in the country."

The Church with a Mission
The mission of the St. John Baptist Church is
evangelistic: to make disciples for Jesus Christ [Matthew 28:18-19]; to promote the preaching of GOD's word in an atmosphere of prayer and praise, under the direction of
the Holy Spirit. We are dedicated to a ministry of sharing God's blessings; therefore, we generously support global [Acts 16:9], and home [Acts 6:1-3] missions.
We will strive as a congregation for a just society for the least of God's children, in civic engagements and in economic
empowerment. We will use a portion of our resources to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and house the homeless, as God gives us the ability [Luke 4:18-19].
We also consider education crucial and essential in the life of the Christian.
