How does HSM impact the community?

San Antonio

For nearly 10 years, Hillside Student Ministry has gone down to the poorest zip code in the U.S. in San Antonio to work with our sister ministries: Young Vision and Agora.

Young vision church reaches out to the surrounding projects, concentrating their efforts towards children. Pastor Joe and the Young Vision staff go out several times a week, picking up kids from various projects and sharing the Gospel with them. Young Vision also reaches out into the community by holding several events a year including: VBS, a fall festival, free garage sales, Christmas gifts and so much more. Hundreds of kids and adults join Young Vision weekly to hear the Good News and change the community!

Agora Ministries focuses on the homeless community in San Antonio. Pastor Edgar and his team continually provide the homeless with food, clothing, and other necessities. Agora also reaches out to the kids in surrounding projects by providing church services, school supplies, and community events. Agora has made an incredible impact in San Antonio and has reached hundreds for Christ!

HSM has a heart for San Antonio and we are constantly looking for ways to help out Young Vision and Agora. We take several trips during the year including: An Easter Egg hunt in the spring, a Fall Fest trip in the fall, and Christmas trip to hand out gifts in the winter. We also do a week long trip to help with construction and other needs in the summer. San Antonio trips are life changing events, for the kids who suffer in San Antonio and the kids from Hillside who help to change their lives for Christ!
