Impact
Woodlawn Pointe Center for Community is a social justice work of New Living Spiritual Center - a thought based spiritual community whose core belief is, "the way you treat others is the fullest expression of your faith."
New Living Spiritual Center started out as River City Church in 1984, uniting in response to the backlash against LGBTQ people during the AIDS epidemic. As traditional Christian churches ousted and barred LGBTQ community members from their congregations, River City Church created a safe haven for practicing their faith.
After more than three decades, New Living continues this legacy, shifting the way a church can build community. By facilitating Woodlawn Pointe Center for Community, New Living aims to empower individuals seeking to improve the greater San Antonio area.
