✝ Colorado Church Tokenizes $2.5M Chapel

In what could be the world’s first tokenized church, the “Colorado House of Prayer” has embarked on an innovative mission to purchase its $2.5 million chapel by leveraging blockchain technology. Led by Pastor Blake Bush, this bold move intertwines faith with finance, aiming to secure the Old Stone Church through a unique digital asset offering.

The church, guided by Pastor Bush’s spiritual vision, has introduced “Stone Coin,” a blockchain-based token designed to raise funds for the purchase of their historic building. This 11,457-square-foot chapel, known for its stone exterior, was acquired by its current owner for $2.2 million in 2022. Now, the church group plans to reclaim it through a digital asset tied to real estate, operating on the Polymesh private blockchain.

Pastor Bush attributes the idea to a divine revelation, recounting how he felt called to “tokenize the building” during a moment of prayer. This modern twist on a traditional capital campaign represents a fusion of faith and technology, with the pastor describing it as a mission directed by God to “go get my house.”

As the church raises funds, they’ve already garnered about half of their $2.5 million goal. Moving forward, the token’s board, including Bush and other local leaders, plans to expand sales beyond the congregation, potentially to any interested investors.

While some might worry about the risks of external ownership—like a hypothetical scenario where non-believers or even Satanists could acquire a significant stake—Bush remains unfazed. His response? “Let’s introduce you to Jesus.”
