A Look Back to the Past, continued

Outreach

Walter F. MacGowan became pastor in 1964. A great preacher with a great singing voice and compassion for the members, he led us through a period full of change. As population in the city of St. Louis decreased, so did UACC's membership, as numerous Disciples churches sprouted in the suburbs. Union Avenue Christian Church remained steadfast in its commitment to be a beacon of faith and hope for the city.

Many outreach programs were begun to help the community during these times. Joint Community Ministries (a coalition of neighborhood congregations) helped families in the community and operated a preschool for several years in our building. Northwest Meals on Wheels was started at our church, and the West End Players Guild, a community theater company, found a home with us. Gene Lamb served as minister from 1982 until 1986. Still, our commitment to remain as a faith community at our urban location was strong. more
