This month WBM is celebrating its 4th Anniversary.  We are grateful for all of our volunteers, donors, partners and participants.  We are doing this thing called ‘life’ together.  We need your continued support and prayers.  Together we are making a difference one person at a time.    Continue to use your talents and gifts to help others. No gesture is too small.

West Blvd Ministry and partners provided gifts for over 100 families in the corridor.  We are able to highlight our mission this time of year and are blessed for the support of all of our partners.

West Blvd Ministry celebrated the opening of Gracie’s House on Saturday December 12th. Friends had an opportunity to check out our new fellowship space and enjoy lunch that was provided by Moosehead Grill. We move into 2021 in anticipation of what God will do at and through Gracie’s House

West Blvd Ministry partnered with Soul Winners Outreach, Progressive Baptist Church and Stop The Killing for an afternoon of worship and testimonials at the corner of West Blvd and Remount Road. West Blvd Ministry distributed 100 backpacks for school along with 200 winter coats. We were all blessed to come together in community at a gas station to sing praise

West Blvd Ministry partnered with First Baptist Church and Beds For Kids to provide 100 Thanksgiving meals to the families in the Parker Heights Apartment complex in the West Blvd corridor.

We would like to thank the Corners Society for walking with us in the distribution of the meals.

Next week West Blvd Ministry will be distributing 50 Turkey’s and Sides to families in the Little Rock Apartments as we partner with the YMCA & Mac’s Speed Shop. All go the glory of God.

West Blvd Ministry kicked off our new mentoring program, WBM Stars, for 15 young men in the West Blvd corridor this evening at Gracie’s House.

• Focus will be on physical well being, education, relationships with God and one another & to Dream Big.
• WBM Stars will meet weekly on Tuesday evenings.
• Weekly speakers will have an opportunity to share impactful wisdom with the WBM Stars.
• Dinner is provided.
• Contact West Blvd Ministry if you’re interested in sponsoring.

West Blvd Ministry was blessed by Super Sod with 20 pallets of Tif Tuf Sod that was laid at Gracie’s House by the WBM Team. The sod was placed in record time as the hands of Christ were hard at work. Gracie’s House is moving toward completion. We are forever grateful for our corporate partnerships that have made Gracie’s House a reality. Thank you Super Sod!

West Blvd concluded distribution of meals to families throughout the West Blvd corridor on June 30th. We have been hard at work Monday-Friday since March 18th to bridge the gap in nutrition. Through our partnership with The Dream Center, West Blvd Ministry was able to hand deliver 18,250 meals, all to the glory of Jesus Christ.

West Blvd Ministry Family visited Myrtle Beach for a weekend full of fun, fellowship and prayer.  God provided an opportunity for the trip two weeks after Trevin was hit by a stray bullet during a drive by shooting in Little Rock Apartments. By God’s grace Trevon is recovering nicely and no one else was injured. The beach trip, the families first time to the beach, was a time to get away and relax as a family. Jesus is so good!

Experiences such as these are available through the generosity of the extended West Boulevard family.   If you would like to give an experience for the children please visit our donation page or contact us directly.

God Bless

The WBM Team had the honor & privilege to bless Charlotte’s own Sam Bethea (Jesus Saves) with a car today. The Pontiac was generously donated to West Blvd Ministry by a family who wanted to see it used for the Kingdom.

West Blvd Ministry has been hard at work since March 18th to deliver hot and nutritious meals to families throughout the West Blvd corridor. Through our partnership with The Dream Center, Chef Jim Noble and Moments Of Hope Church relationships have been strengthened and cultivated from RWCI/Little Rock Apartments to Parker Heights. West Blvd Ministry will continue to live the gospel out one day at a time and would like to thank you for your prayers, time and support.

The WBM family would like to congratulate Taylor Fluid, a 2020 graduate of Harding University High School, for being the first recipient of the Roger F Switzer scholarship presented by West Blvd Ministry.

Taylor will be attending North Carolina A&T University to study Journalism and Communications.  She is a member of the   Junior ROTC where she has been recognized for Citizenship and Scholastic accomplishments.  Taylor has been a Girl Scout for over 12 years and is active in Friendship Ministry Baptist Church.

The scholarship committee chose Taylor based on her excellent application and a compelling interview.  We hope this recognition will support her in her studies and be an investment in West Blvd corridor.

The goal of this annual gift is to recognize a student from Harding High and highlight the mission of WBM.  It is a memoriam to Roger F Switzer, a career public servant who wanted his life to be a ministry of service and love.  The gesture of a scholarship is to honor the man and deliver on that commitment.  We want the award to go to a recipient who demonstrates good character, scholastic commitment and involvement in their community.

West Blvd Ministry will continue to be a lighthouse no matter what storm we are in.

WBM distributed 200 hot & healthy meals to families throughout the West Blvd corridor. We served the Cambridge Park Apartments, Reid Park, RWCI and Little Rock Apartments.  We are blessed by the partnership of The Dream Center and Moments Of Hope Church to make this happen.

• For the next few weeks we will be serving the families nightly.
• Please contact the ministry if you would like to help in anyway.
• Stay safe and stay healthy

Another UNCC Men’s Basketball Game.

This time the kids got to see the Niners vs.Florida Atlantic (who was in 1st place in Conference USA)

The game was very exciting and the boys learned about persevering. Charlotte came back from double digit deficit to win in the final minute.

UNCC Basketball is 3-0 this season when West Blvd Ministry is in attendance cheering them on.

West Blvd Ministry had a special guest for the evening,  Hall Of Fame Basketball Coach Larry Brown.  These opportunities provide fellowship, build relationships and provide a positive influence for the kids.

• Christmas was provided for all residents of Cambridge Park Apartments as well as families throughout Little Rock Apartments and Renaissance West Community Initiative.
• We strived to be the hands, feet and heart of Christ as we interacted with families. Many smiles and hugs were exchanged.
• We could not have touched so many without the tremendous support of the WBM Team.

West Blvd Ministry wrapped up 2019 with our monthly Bible Study & Bingo Night at Little Rock Apartments. We will continue to gather on the 1st Wednesday of the month for this special event. We were blessed to welcome members of the UNCC 49er’s Basketball Team to the West Blvd Ministry Team. We’re especially grateful for the WBM Team that has showed up month after month to make this event so powerful and purposeful.

West Blvd Ministry partnered with MPV Properties to distribute “35 Thanksgiving Meals” to our friends in Cambridge Park Apartments. This was an investment into creating lasting relationships with families throughout the West Blvd corridor. Love your neighbor.

West Blvd Ministry cheered on at UNCC Basketball at their game against Davidson this past Tuesday night. UNCC won a close contest for the “Hornets Nest Trophy.” We were blessed by the generous gift of the tickets from UNCC Athletics through our relationship with FCA. We had the opportunity to cheer on WBM Team member and volunteer Bo Blight, #11 on the team.

Make sure to check out our gallery for pictures from the event. God bless!

West Blvd Ministry and a few partnerships gathered to welcome the students at Tuckaseegee Elementary with high-fives and words of encouragement as they walked into their first day of school. A great sense of community and excitement was in the air. West Blvd Ministry values its partnership with Tuckaseegee Elementary and looks forward to a great school year. God bless!
