University United Methodist Church has been in ministry to the San Antonio area since it was founded as West End Methodist Church in 1890.  In 1974, the congregation started a satellite campus in northwest San Antonio – a satellite that would be chartered as University United Methodist Church in 1978.  Today, University is a 5800 -member congregation, drawing 3000 worshippers a week to its two campuses.  Its founding priorities of children, youth and community service continue to expand today through ministries like the largest Day School (2 yrs–K) program in San Antonio, the most prolific non-profit builder of Habitat for Humanity homes in the city, “Under the Bridge” homeless ministry, an accredited secondary school for students with learning disabilities and the founding of Magdalena House (a shelter for abused women and children).  University is currently expanding its u|ability ministry to the special needs community through Sunday schools, weekly worship, vocational training and “Helping Hands” servant ministry.  The congregation also sponsors several clinics and medical missions in both Mexico and Guatemala, and has mission enterprises in other regions and countries, including Rwanda, Russia and Costa Rica. n 2008, the 83,000 square foot North Campus opened as a venue targeted toward youth ministry, contemporary worship (with seating for 1500) and recreation evangelism (which includes u|sk8 – an indoor skateboard ministry).  University’s “Pathway to Discipleship” core curriculum and disciple development concept also launched that year.
