Beloved Community Church is a congregation located at 131 41st Street South in Avondale. It began in 1999 from the efforts of the Rev. Angela H. Wright to reach out to persons unlikely to attend traditional churches elsewhere in the area; Wright continues as pastor today. Within a year, the new church moved into the former Avondale Lodge No. 476 building near Avondale Park. Beloved Community Church presently holds membership in the United Church of Christ denomination.
Instead of holding traditional Sunday morning services, the church meets on Sunday evenings instead, featuring a contemporary jazz band in its worship services rather than a robed choir and organ music.
In 2006, the church renovated and leased a small building on their property; it is currently occupied by Customwood.
