OUR MINISTRIES
Four ways we show up for downtown.
Every ministry we run flows from a single conviction: the gospel is for everybody, and it meets people where they are.

01 · CHRISTIAN STUDENT CENTER
A home away from home for downtown students.
Our building sits right on the San Antonio College campus, which means college students are our literal neighbors. The Christian Student Center is a place for students to belong — a weekly Bible study, a hot meal, a quiet corner to study, and friendships that outlast a semester.
Whether you're exploring faith for the first time or you grew up in church and are trying to figure out what you still believe, you're invited.
WHO'S IT FOR
College students and young adults in downtown San Antonio
02 · PRISON MINISTRY
No one is beyond the reach of grace.
Our Prison Ministry team steps into detention facilities and correctional institutions across the San Antonio area to bring the hope of Jesus — through Bible studies, one-on-one conversation, and friendship that doesn't give up on people.
The work doesn't stop at the fence. We walk alongside men and women after release — helping connect them with a church family, a Bible, and the practical support that makes a new start possible.
WHO'S IT FOR
Incarcerated men and women, and those rebuilding life post-release
03 · HOMELESS MINISTRY
Friends, not projects. Dignity, not a transaction.
Downtown San Antonio is home to many of our unhoused neighbors — and they are exactly that: neighbors. Our Homeless Ministry provides meals, prayer, practical help, and consistent friendship to the men and women living on the streets around our building.
We do this because Jesus did this. And because the gospel is bad news if it only reaches people who already have their lives together.
WHO'S IT FOR
Our unhoused neighbors in downtown San Antonio
04 · BIBLE LEARNING CENTER
Decades of teaching, now online.
For more than thirty years, John Massie has taught the Bible to anyone who would sit and listen — in living rooms, classrooms, and Sunday morning services. Courses like Getting to Know Jesus have shaped a generation.
The Bible Learning Center is our home for preserving that teaching and making it available to learners everywhere. Three ways to engage, at your pace:
DO-IT-YOURSELF
Self-paced video courses you can take anytime, anywhere, for free.
DONE-WITH-YOU
A small-group cohort with weekly live class and a learning community
ONE-ON-ONE
Personal time with Mark Forster to walk through questions and next steps.
WHO'S IT FOR
Anyone who wants to study the Bible seriously — beginner to lifelong learner
