CrossWalk Houston Update

With great vision, MDUMC opened an offsite outreach program in our community almost 10 years ago. In that time, students have learned English, passed their GED, entered college, obtained better employment, mastered computer skills and joined us as citizens of our great country. We’ve stretched our ministry to serve the families of our students and local outreach with students at Family Point and Thornwood Elementary.


 

CrossWalk Houston

CrossWalk Houston is MDUMC's local mission initiative serving our nearest West Houston neighbors in need.  Our mission is to empower our neighbors to reach their full potential by providing educational opportunities, essential tools and personal support. 

Please email CrossWalk for more information.

Opportunities to Serve at CrossWalk Houston

We need YOU to take the love of Christ and MDUMC outside our walls and into our community. 

The success of this ministry stems from the love and faithfulness of our Lord, the financial support of our church and members like you and the devotion of so many volunteers. Currently we have classes 6 days a week. We have a waiting list of students who would like one-to-one time with a volunteer to help with reading or writing. There is also a need to aid adults with employment applications.

The time commitment of our volunteers is extremely flexible. Prayerfully consider serving our community as a CrossWalk volunteer. You will be richly rewarded. Complete the volunteer form on our webpage or email SeanKennedy@mdumc.org.


“…I enjoy working with our students. I taught English to an advanced ESL group of women who ranged from housewives to lawyers. Currently I have been teaching basic education to a variety of students. These students have had challenged lives and each one is very appreciative of the opportunity to better themselves. I am thankful that MDUMC supports CrossWalk.” Carla Kaley

About CrossWalk Houston

What is the mission and vision of CrossWalk Houston?

Our mission is to empower our neighbors to reach their full potential by providing educational opportunities, essential tools and the love and support of MDUMC. Our vision is to take the love of God outside the walls of MDUMC and be a loving, empowering and tangible presence at CrossWalk Houston.

Where is CrossWalk Houston and who do we serve?

CrossWalk currently has a small office, computer lab and two training facilities at the Outreach Center of West Houston at 725 Bateswood Dr. (77079).

We serve the greater SBISD area with more of a presence in the 77079 community. We offer ESL classes on two SBISD campuses and hope to expand into other schools.

Are there other organizations CrossWalk Houston is working with in the area? 

The main organizations we work with are Literacy Advance of Houston, Spring Branch ISD, Family Point Resources, Outreach Center of West Houston, Harris County Department of Education and area churches.

 

What courses are taught and how were those chosen?

At CWH we offer a range of ESL classes for adult learners Monday – Thursdays in the mornings and evenings. Basic computer & citizenship courses are available when a class is formed. We recently inherited the Adult Basic Education classes from Literacy Advance. We offer a reading practice group and individual tutoring in reading and writing.

All of our offerings are selected based on the needs of the community we serve.
