Authentic Community in San Antonio

Watch the interview below involving two residents of Lincoln Heights Courts who are involved in Urban Connection--San Antonio.

Our efforts bring people together in power ways.

Urban Connection--San Antonio making progress!

Central Dallas Ministries planted a sister organization in San Antonio, Texas almost 8 years ago.  We fly under the banner Urban Connection--San Antonio.  Under the able direction of Leslie Grubbs, UC-SA is really making a huge difference in the Westside community where it is located.

Urban Connection--San Antonio Part 3

One last entry in my rough video journal of the work we are doing in San Antonio, Texas via Urban Connection--San Antonio.

Thanks to the leadership of Leslie Grubbs, the children of Lincoln Heights Courts are receiving wonderful pre-school education opportunites!

Urban Connection--San Antonio Part 2

Urban Connection--San Antonio, the sister organization founded by Central Dallas Ministries, is taking aggressive steps to assist in the transformation of one of the toughest neighborhoods in the city.

Working from the base at Lincoln Heights Courts, a public housing development on the west side, UC-SA recently purchased a very "troubled" house that will be transformed into a center of community hope.

I thought you would enjoy "seeing" things for yourself!

Urban Connection--San Antonio Part 1

In 2002, Central Dallas Ministries "planted a sister organization" in San Antonio, Texas.

We began with a very strong leader, Leslie Kelsie-Grubbs and a challenging location--the Lincoln Heights Courts public housing development located on the tough west side of the city.

Since the beginning days, growth, progress and real change has occurred, thanks to the work of Leslie and her very capable team.

As you'll hear Les say here when speaking of the community's improvement, that our presence "gives people permission to do something different."

I'll be posting video updates so that you can appreciate what has been accomplished with much more one the way!

Community development at its best!

Urban Connection--San Antonio

Six years ago, Central Dallas Ministries planted an urban ministry outpost in San Antonio.

We started with a great leader, Leslie Kelsie-Grubbs and a strategic location, Lincoln Heights Courts on the tough west side of this important city. We called our new operation Urban Connection--San Antonio.

Today the ministry thrives. Last last year, UC--SA became an independent non-profit corporation when it received its 501 ( c ) 3 status. The organizational by-laws direct that CDM will always seat two members on the board of directors. So, CDM will continue to be involved in a very hands-on way with UC--SA.

Read more about the progress in the San Antonio newspaper today.

Congratulations to Leslie and the entire UC--SA team!
