The Ministry Center Campus.
4306 Naco Pass — a full campus with its own welcome, worship, and outreach for the neighborhood. Parking is out front or in the lot on the west side. Come as you are, relaxed or dressed up. Somos familia.
One campus, many ways to connect.
La Roca — Bilingual Worship
A fully bilingual service drawing on both tradition and modern culture — a home for English and Spanish speakers alike. Every element in both languages.
Food Pantry
A client-choice pantry: neighbors make an appointment, then shop our grocery store for canned goods, fresh produce, bread, meat and more. No membership required.
Learn English & Citizenship
ESL runs in six-to-ten week sessions three times a year, with every student paired to a native-English mentor. Citizenship-exam prep reaches the non-English-speaking community of northeast San Antonio.
Health & Wellness — Wesley Nurse
Gloria Contreras, RN, our on-site Wesley Nurse, helps the congregation and community care for one another through health awareness, education and support — mind, body and spirit.
Children’s Ministry
A place for kids from the community to learn about God through Spring Break Vacation Bible School (VBS), movie nights, Friendsgiving, and more — including Project Transformation and Generations on Monday evenings.
Meet the team
Manuel Padilla (Executive Director), Jaime Rubio (Community Pastor), Abel Stewart (Deacon in Residence), Rebecca Futchel (Food Pantry), April Smith (Child Care), Gloria Contreras RN (Wesley Nurse), Eric Tredemeyer (Operations), and the front-desk faces who’ll greet you.
Follow the area of life where you need a hand.
You never have to learn how a church is organized to find your place. Start with the area of life where you — or a neighbor — need support.
These eight are the vital conditions for health and well-being — the framework our partners at Methodist Healthcare Ministries of South Texas use to describe what a neighborhood needs before anyone in it can thrive. Health isn’t created in a clinic. It’s created here.
Thriving Natural World
Families connect with nature and learn practices that support long-term environmental health.
Basic Needs for Health & Safety
Access to food, care, and safe environments helps families meet essential daily needs.
Lifelong Learning
Education at every age builds confidence and opens doors to new opportunities.
Reliable Transportation
Dependable transportation links families to school, work, healthcare, and resources.
Humane Housing
Safe, stable housing supports family health and daily well-being.
Meaningful Work & Wealth
Employment and financial tools help families build stable, hopeful futures.
Belonging & Community Life
Relationships and shared leadership help neighbors feel valued and strengthen community life.
Spiritual Wellness
Spiritual grounding supports resilience, purpose, and hope through life’s challenges.
Dignity. Choice. Purpose.
Seeing the full picture of a family’s life means our care responds to real needs — never a one-size-fits-all handout. Three commitments hold it together.
Dignity
Every person is met as a neighbor and a whole human being — not a case, not a category.
Choice
Families lead their own path. We offer doors, not mandates, and honor the pace people set.
Purpose
Spiritual grounding runs through all eight vital conditions — resilience and hope for life’s challenges.
