Reviving a North Omaha Landmark


We’re transforming the historic Calvin Memorial Presbyterian Church (CMPC) into a vibrant gathering place for community-led innovation, wellness, and community connection in North Omaha.

More than a building

The CMPC isn’t just being restored—it’s being reimagined. We're transforming this sacred historic space into a vibrant hub for small business development, nonprofit leadership, community care, and cultural celebration. Rooted in the practice of Sankofa, we honor what was to shape what will be.

This is about healing, building, and leading from within.

Guiding Values

Community

This project is led by, centered in, and anchored by our community

Belonging

A safe, vibrant place where the depth and complexity of our hues is honored.

Intrinsic Power

Together, we are more than enough. Our community holds the answers, the talent, and the power to build what we need.

Heritage & Justice

This is an act of remembering: honoring the past while shaping the future. Preserving this sacred space means making history, together.

A Space Designed By Us, For Us

What CMPC will house:

  • Storytelling events and oral history preservation

  • Intergenerational mentorship and creative programming

  • Pop-ups and retail space for local vendors

  • Mental wellness and healing workshops

  • Affordable co-working, training, event, and nonprofit incubator space

How it will feel to be here

Imagine a space where connection is felt the moment you walk through the door. Where neighbors become collaborators, ideas turn into action, and healing happens collectively.

At CMPC, you are not just welcomed; you are woven into a larger story of belonging, leadership, and legacy. This will be a place shaped by us and for us, where unapologetic Black excellence, joy, and creativity are nurtured side by side. It’s where rest meets resistance, and where the future is built together.
