Why Gobin Matters


For nearly a century, Gobin Memorial Church has stood at the intersection of faith, scholarship, music, justice, and community life in Greencastle and at DePauw University.

It is more than a building. It is a living presence — a steadfast companion for worship, a servant of the community, a stage for the arts, a caretaker of history, and a visionary for the future.


Its legacy connects us to our past while filling our present with a deeper sense of communal identity and meaning.

Why Now?


Years of deferred maintenance have taken a toll on our historic building. Critical repairs are needed to protect Gobin’s structure, beauty, and accessibility — and to ensure it remains a place of welcome, worship, and service for generations to come.


This is our moment to act — together.
