Youth grades 6th to 12th
A New Vision
Priscilla Garcia, Youth Team Lead
We are so excited to announce the new vision we have for our youth. We want to thank Vickie for the work she has done.
We begin our new way forward with our focus on utilizing our Family Life Center to bring our youth in. Our goal is to build and equip mature Christ followers. We meet with a purpose of leading and bringing people to Jesus Christ. In a world that has played tug-a-war with our youth, we are hoping to be the positive influence for our youth in this community.
As a church, it is important that we continue to focus and pour into our youth. We ask for your prayers, for both our leaders and students, that we build a familial and safe space for everyone! Pray that God continues to guide us and provide a way for us to bring more youth into our church.
The Youth meet on Sunday mornings at 10:00 for Sunday School with Greg and Shelly Torres.

Food Pantry Ministry
Our Food Pantry distributes food to people in need on the second Friday morning of each month from 9:00-11:00. Food is purchased as needed from the San Antonio Food Bank. However, our local Wal-Mart is the primary supplier, donating many pounds of food each week. Church volunteers pick up the food at Wal-Mart every Thursday morning and bring it to the church. On food distribution mornings, ministry team members handle the paperwork, bag and box the food, pray with the recipients, and carry the food boxes to their cars. In a typical month we serve 60-70 families, with each family receiving around 40-50 lbs of food, plus an extra smaller box if there are children in the home.
