Ministries
Youth grades 6th to 12th
Priscilla Garcia, Youth Team Lead
We finally did it! Our church successfully hosted a garage sale fundraiser to help send our youth to camp this upcoming June at Highland Lakes, and it was a HUGE success! We raised an impressive $3,105, bringing us closer to our goal of $7,000. We are nearly halfway there, and we are excited to witness how God will continue to provide in ways only He can.
I want to take a moment to celebrate our church community. Everyone came together, contributing in various ways—from donating items for the garage sale to making delicious burritos, to setting up the event. It was truly a group effort, and together, we made it happen!
Our youth ministry is thriving! We had our largest Wednesday gathering yet, with over 20 students showing up, all filled with excitement of going to camp. Currently, we even have a waiting list of students eager to attend, which is incredible and all thanks to God!
What began as a vision from God has blossomed into a reality. This experience serves as a testament to us all: wherever God guides us, He will provide! We are grateful for the support and dedication of our church family and look forward to witnessing more miracles as we continue this journey.
Thank you all for your generosity, support, and faith. Let's keep working together, trusting in God's plan, and making a difference in the lives of our youth.

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.
