Together we can.

Pastor Brenda Benn is the pastor of Wesley Chapel Christian Community Church. Pastor Benn  has been the pastor of Wesley Chapel Christian Community Church for over 7 years. Her vision is the reason this dream is coming to fruition. 

Pastor Benn and a group of members wanted to create a way to remember the legacy of Rev. H. H. Wright while continuing his advocacy for equality and community. This park will welcome all people from all races and backgrounds. Our prayer is for the space to be a special place where God's children can feel loved and safe. 

Rev. Herbert H. Wright was born in Tupelo, Mississippi on August 2, 1930. He was called to the ministry at the age of 19 and pastored over 50 years.  He is a graduate of Lane College, in Jackson TN.  Rev. Wright became a strong advocate for civil rights and equal rights and equal opportunities for all Chattanoogans, achieving many important gains as a result. 

Rev. Wright founded the Action Coordinating Council; an organization focused on the needs of the poor and those who were treated unfairly. He spearheaded the change in the political structure of the Chattanooga City Government, from a city commission to a city council, which provided more equal political representation. Rev. Wright was also one of the founding members of the 28th Legislative District Community Development Corporation, recognizing early the importance of housing and economic development as a resource for poor communities.

Our mission is to provide a safe and loving environment for the community to gather. The park will provide education and social resources to the community. We will schedule weekly activities that will enhance social and personal abilities. 

Rev. Wright believed that if we help each other then the entire community succeeds. Each one reach one! This park will be a safe haven to fulfill his legacy and bring about positive change in the community
