Continuing service with current participants. Mentors are reaching out to check on individual needs during this time.
We are a non-profit, ecumenical ministry designed to Introducing adolescents to Jesus Christ and helping them grow in their faith. We do this by:
* Praying for kids.
* Going where kids are.
* Building personal relationships with them.
* Winning the right to be heard.
* Providing experiences that are fun, adventurous
and life-changing.
* Sharing our lives and the Good News of Jesus Christ
with adolescents.
* Inviting them to personally respond to the Good News.
* Loving them regardless of their responses.
* Nurturing kids so they might grow in their love for Christ
and the knowledge of God’s Word and become people who
can share their faith with others.
* Helping young people develop the skills, assets and
attitudes to reach their full God-given potential.
* Encouraging kids to live connected to the Body of Christ by
being an active member of a local congregation.
* Working with a team of like-minded individuals — volunteer
leaders, committee members, donors and staff.
Church Under the Bridge is San Antonio’s Church for the Homeless Community.
We reach out with the love of Jesus, giving Hope through preaching, singing, teaching the Word of God, training, and services to satisfy both the Spiritual and physical needs of the congregation, including free meals, clothing, and overnight emergency shelter during extreme weather.
