Mission Opportunities

Church Under the Bridge is a church for the Homeless Community.  Church Under the Bridge began in the Spring of 1997.  The purpose was to not only bring the  Gospel message, but also to provide meals, donated clothing and hygiene items to those in need.

Here at Laurel Heights UMC, our dedicated Church Mice members serve the Church Under the Bridge community on the first Thursday of the month.  They have provided sandwiches, fruit and individually wrapped desserts.  If you would like to get involved, or would like additional information regarding Church Under the Bridge, please contact Laura Healy at [email protected] or by phone 210-733-7156.
