Cohen Temple Church Of God In Christ History For more than 100 years, A.M. Cohen Temple, Church Of God In Christ, Inc. (COGIC) has provided the Historical Overtown community with a place for families to fellowship, worship and meet their spiritual and social needs. A.M. Cohen Temple was founded 1918, named after the founder Elder Amaziah Melvin Cohen, whose name is on the charter of the City of Miami. The Church sponsored one of the most popular broadcast programs in South Florida. A.M. Cohen Temple also became known for its warmth and generosity, giving support to the National Church and Missions both foreign and domestic. Upon the demise of Bishop A.M. Cohen in 1959, Then Elder Jacob Cohen was appointed as pastor to continue the Cohen legacy. He returned to Miami Temple to assist his father when he became ill. In 1960 Elder Cohen found himself renovating the church and carrying the people of God ahead. His same level of enthusiasm and courage demonstrated by his father caused people everywhere to notice. In 1967 the church was renamed A.M. Cohen Temple in memory of his father and founder, Amaziah Melvin Cohen. It was not long before Elder Cohen was elevated. Elder Cohen served as Superintendent of the South Miami District and Secretary to the Presiding Bishop F. D. Johnson who preceded him as the Jurisdictional Bishop of Eastern Florida. In 1971, Elder Cohen became Bishop Jacob Cohen of the Eastern Jurisdiction of Florida. In 1972 he retired from the school system and devoted his life to fulfilling God's purpose for his life. In September 2021 Bishop Jimmie L Williams, Jurisdictional Prelate appointed Quincy Cohen, the Great Grandson of A.M. Cohen as Pastor to continue the Cohen legacy at A.M. Cohen Temple, upon the demise of Bishop Jacob Cohen. Pastor Q. Cohen having the same enthusiasm, dedication and hard work continues to elevate the church and service our community such as his Great Grand Father Bishop Amaziah Melvin Cohen and Grandfather, Bishop Jacob Cohen. A.M. Cohen Temple standing 104 years later continues to be the church in the heart of the city, with the people of the city in its heart. Attachment: File # 12973 - Backup (12973 : Grant to A.M.

COHEN TEMPLE 1747 NW 3rd Ave. Packet Pg. 95 4.4.a I am pleased to submit our proposal to the SEOPW CRA for a grant of $117,907 in support of A.M. Cohen Temple Church Of God In Christ Building Projects and Youth Program. Here is a brief overview of why the support will make a major impact in our community. A.M. Cohen Temple Church Of God In Christ History For more than 100 years, A.M. Cohen Temple, Church Of God In Christ, Inc. (COGIC) has provided the Historical Overtown community with a place for families to fellowship, worship and meet their spiritual and social needs. A.M. Cohen Temple was founded 1918, named after the founder Elder Amaziah Melvin Cohen, whose name is on the charter of the City of Miami. The Church sponsored one of the most popular broadcast programs in South Florida. A.M. Cohen Temple also became known for its warmth and generosity, giving support to the National Church and Missions both foreign and domestic. Upon the demise of Bishop A.M. Cohen in 1959, Then Elder Jacob Cohen was appointed as pastor to continue the Cohen legacy. He returned to Miami Temple to assist his father when he became ill. In 1960 Elder Cohen found himself renovating the church and carrying the people of God ahead. His same level of enthusiasm and courage demonstrated by his father caused people everywhere to notice. In 1967 the church was renamed A.M. Cohen Temple in memory of his father and founder, Amaziah Melvin Cohen. It was not long before Elder Cohen was elevated. Elder Cohen served as Superintendent of the South Miami District and Secretary to the Presiding Bishop F. D. Johnson who preceded him as the Jurisdictional Bishop of Eastern Florida. In 1971, Elder Cohen became Bishop Jacob Cohen of the Eastern Jurisdiction of Florida. In 1972 he retired from the school system and devoted his life to fulfilling God's purpose for his life. In September 2021 Bishop Jimmie L Williams, Jurisdictional Prelate appointed Quincy Cohen, the Great Grandson of A.M. Cohen as Pastor to continue the Cohen legacy at A.M. Cohen Temple, upon the demise of Bishop Jacob Cohen. Pastor Q. Cohen having the same enthusiasm, dedication and hard work continues to elevate the church and service our community such as his Great Grand Father Bishop Amaziah Melvin Cohen and Grandfather, Bishop Jacob Cohen. A.M. Cohen Temple standing 104 years later continues to be the church in the heart of the city, with the people of the city in its heart. Packet Pg. 96 4.4.a Project: A.M. Cohen Temple Church Building Exterior Handicap Ramp: The Building is over 60 years old, and most of the members are seniors who have complications using the stairs. The ADA ramp would allow members and visitors who have physical impairments to have access to the 2nd floor sanctuary. Paint/Remodel: The paint although was not an issue in the recertification the building needs repainting. The paint is fading, and the building is cosmetically outdated. (The front windows, brick & stones designs). Fence Installation: The property has issues with trespassing and vehicle break-ins. An Iron fence would assist with securing the property. Parking lot payment: The parking lot pavement is long overdue. This would assist with curing some parking issues and divots. Project: A.M. Cohen Temple Church Building Interior Fellowship Hall Remodel: The fellowship hall is where the youth meet. The hall needs more cosmetic than remodeling. The computer lab and kitchen are outdated. The appliances and old computers were removed because they no longer worked. Furniture & Appliances: The computer desks and chairs were removed because they were no longer usable. The kitchen appliances need to be replaced. Security System: With the trespassing and vandalism of property, a security system would assist with securing the facility. Media Ministry: During the pandemic, the church was unable to have services nor provide service online. The church has no equipment to provide online service to the parishioners and community. Request A.M. Cohen Temple Church of God In Christ is in a prime position to meet a growing demand for youth and parent support. With funding support A.M. Cohen Temple Church Of God In Christ can grow, develop and enhance our Breath of Life Community Youth Program. We are requesting grant support of $117,907 to assist with the upgrade to the church building exterior, interior, provide access into the building for the elderly, and enhance our Breath Of Life Community Youth Outreach Program. Packet Pg. 97 4.4.a Details of expenditures: Exterior Handicap Ramp $35,000 Reimbursements (estimate cost) $10,000 • Permit fees • Engineering • Architect ($3,500) • Surveys • Additional Insurance Paint/remodel $15,500 Fence installation $12,600 Parking lot re -pavement $ 7,600 Interior Fellowship Hall remodel $18,500 Furniture & Appliances $ 2,673 Security System (ADT) $ 3,659 Media Equipment $12,375 Total funds needed: $ 117,907 Conclusion The funding to support A.M.
