Exploring an Abandoned Church in Trenton, NJ - Built 1875
This church in Trenton was originally built in 1875 as a Presbyterian Church. In 1994 it became the Imani Community Church which is a progressive African American congregation. Unfortunately funds ran low, repairs were neglected and they abandoned it in 2006. It is a breath taking structure full of masterful carpentry and stonework. It is now owned my the city of Trenton. Anybody else want to help me save this place and preserve it at the very least? Comment your ideas! I would gladly donate a few hundred hours of labor and some money of my own. Kills me to see this it rot. Its worth saving. `

Trenton will always be home! I like how you guys go inside buildings I pass every day and always wonder what it looks like inside.

Amazing how you have the balls to crawl into those places. Great video, again as usual!
That inner structure where he was walking just freaked me out. Incredible. It looked like the most intricate tree house ever or something. LOL.
OMG 😍 I absolutely LOVE the residence. I'd love to buy it and refurbish it. I could definitely fill most of it. 7 kids so they'd each get their own room. My husband would absolutely fall in love with the kitchen. I definitely wouldn't be allowed in there anymore🤣. Add my old school stereo/record player to a room have a few of them set up for music and theater and library, which you'd probably never get my oldest daughter, my sister or myself out of 🤣. I could use all the school stuff for my homeschooled kids. This place would be absolutely AWESOME!!
Really enjoying your exploring videos! It’s so hard to come by actual fun explorations and love the commentary about the different materials inside the buildings. Felt like we learned a lot!

Dude you're absolutely nuts, you make me so nervous when you climb through those sketchy rafters. But I do find it extremely entertaining. Awesome video
I love my city, so much history and such beautiful architecture. Great video guys

Seriously. I wish there was something I could do. Makes me want to get together a bunch of volunteers and then go to the city with a plan to rehabilitate it
The art work in that building is amazing!
Can't believe they would leave that organ
Beautiful stained glass window. Can't believe they're still intact.
Love the music SCARY!!!!!!
Awesome to see how many times the church had new stuff built within the old!

I remember walking past this church all the time with my uncle! Never seen the inside til this video!! Good old memories during the early 90s. Now I live in Georgia! Thanks for the memories
You definitely went farther than most in this exploration.
Cool, love the walk through videos
Amazing construction. And how stuff is just left as it was. Very interesting video.
Intro and outro music was great. I liked the floating toilet.

I can’t believe they left that beautiful stain glass there.
The stained glass is really cool !
That steinway should be restored
WOW this place is awesome! Reminds me of a church not far from ours in STL. Not familiar with the area you guys are in or what steps you’d have to take to get ownership, but it looks like a great project to take on if you’re serious about it!

Yeah it's a pretty rad Church. I actually had one of the Rev from First Presbyterian Church in Trenton reach out to me and she's interested in rehabilitating it. She's looking into it. Hopefully that works out
Well that went well.
I always heard that some of the stained glass here are Tiffany…? (Went to church here about 30 years ago…I am so sad to see this beautiful church in this condition.)
So sad I know were this church is somebody needs to save it.

wow Awesome footage!! I love exploration of abandoned dwelling! def some staged rooms! Idk about u but if i were homeless, Id def be camped out in there...
Wow! Sad to see. I used to drive past that church during the week when it was in use. That was back in 92 when I worked in Trenton and attended school there at Trenton State college (know the College of New Jersey). Yup, brings back memories of just getting out of the Army and home from the Gulf War. I dated a girl who lived a couple of blocks from there. She was serious about me and trying to get married, I wasn't. LOL
What's the most confusing day of the year in Trenton ? Father's day.

Warfel I went to my Brownie Troop at the church. ☹️ The residence was first job out of high school. My grandmom was an LPN at the infirmary there. I was a nurse aide at that time. No training needed back then. I was 98 lb then. I remember one patient. She was at least 325 lb. was not able to do anything herself. I rolled her washed her. Gave her messages. Fed her, combed her hair. Changed her etc. what 18 yo could you find today to do all of that. I think I made $5 hr. In the residence I would sit and visit. I remember two women as if it were yesterday. One a retired school principal. She was 100 yo still smart as a whip. Very tall, thin. The other woman was 98 yo. She was retired teacher. She always had me laughing. Wonderful memories from both places.

They got the Kingston Trio and Doris Day records that's neat I knew Doris Day was a movie star but did not know she sung but her son Terry Melcher was a producer so I could see her getting into singing. The kingston Trio was a folk group the only song I know of them is the Tom Dooley song from when I was a kid.

Doris Day was very widely acclaimed as a singer in her day. sigh
What a beautiful church. They don't make "em like that anymore.
Thanks for the tour, I'd be more afraid of getting arrested than getting hurt
I wander if the neighbors are hearing the pipes 🤩
Abandoned Church? God Damn it! Why is it abandoned?
That is a very nice church even though it’s a Bandan be careful when you are exploring watch out for the cop
You were doing your best BATMAN LOL

Chris and Jenn. I do not know if you will ever read this comment, and I am sure someone will attack me for it, however I feel compelled to tell you both something. You expressed some disgust about the terrible grafhetti portraying a blaphmous act in the church. You mentioned that you had only went to a church acouple of times and I could tell that your fate was on your heart. I would urge you to get a bible or look online at 1st corthioans 15 verses 1 through four and really think about what is written there. I doubt that I will never meet you in this life, but we are brothers in our intrests. I am much older though 66 yrs old now. What you and Jenn have is so important, but what Jesus did for you is infinatly more important. Peace be with you Man.
