Hope Through Darkness

The youth in this Charlotte community experience particularly high rates of gun violence, drug use, and school dropout. We offer an alternate path using biblical principles that provide the tools to live an abundant, full life.

Unlocking Potential

Fostering Unity

The intersection of Title I schools, income inequality, and a prevalence of single-family homes underscores the complex socio-economic landscape of the West Blvd Corridor. Despite these hurdles, our targeted programs actively work towards breaking down barriers to bring about lasting positive change and uplift this Charlotte neighborhood.

Connecting the Community

In 2012, Bart Noonan underwent a transformation through God’s calling and power by redirecting his path to include serving others. Bart and West Blvd Ministry strive to revitalize the West Boulevard’s families and neighborhoods by connecting them with resources in this under-served community of Charlotte.

“Ultimately, BBQ for Blue has shown us that there are people out there who appreciate us and the difficult job we have chosen as a career. We appreciate Bart and West Blvd Ministry for their continued partnership and unwavering support of CMPD’s Westover Division.”

- Lieutenant Wesley Jessup
“I’m a proud mom to a family of six, and I have had the pleasure to be part of West Blvd Ministry for six years. West Blvd Ministry played a big part of our life over the years and just to have that relationship is a blessing…you guys rock! I love you.”

- Tangela Allen
“This ministry has allowed our staff and students to see and feel their worth on a daily basis. Not only in the resources given by West Blvd Ministry to the school, their thoughts, time and friendship have gone a long way to know that they care about the total school.”

- Dwight Thompson

Principal, Renaissance West STEAM Academy
“Bart and the West Blvd Ministry are able to recognize what the inner city needs, not just funds but endless support and prayers. They build treasures that will last forever with these students. West Blvd Ministry is the best community relationship we have for making an impact on athletes. When students see Bart, they are excited and know that WBM is there for them with endless support and prayers."

- Sam Greiner

West Charlotte High School Football Coach
"Vizion Church has partnered with West Blvd Ministry for over two years. During this time we have had the privilege of working with Bart and his staff to do numerous events, both large and small, up and down the West Blvd corridor. What always makes these events special, is that regardless of the numbers, be it 200 or 20, the emphasis always remains on connecting with the individual in a way that will leave their life significantly impacted. It is clear to all the volunteers who serve, that this ministry is about relationships. This not only leads to lives being touched and the communities themselves being transformed, but it has a profound impact on the lives of the volunteers. They discover that real ministry can happen through them if they will just make themselves available."
