St. Paul Children’s Foundation is one of our highest-priority local mission efforts. This faith-based organization works hand in hand with its East Tyler neighbors to rebuild and renew community and spiritual life.

St. Paul Children's Foundation ministries include:

Dental Clinic

The clinic is open Monday through Friday to provide services for children who would otherwise go without much-needed dental care. The Clinic was a labor of love built by Marvin volunteers with community support.

Children's Health Clinic

SPCF and Northeast Texas Public Health District partner to provide quality medical care for low-income children. This modern medical facility staffed with dedicated pediatricians and nurses is open five days a week to meet the healthcare needs of grateful families.

Mobile Medical Van

Trinity Mother Frances Health System and Northeast Texas Public Health District work with SPCF to provide the mobile Health Care Outreach Van that travels to eight East Texas counties providing healthcare to the medically underserved.

Clothes Closet and Food Pantry

Most clients come to help bridge the gap between paychecks or in emergency situations. The families we serve often repay that kindness by baking goodies for our volunteers or donating their time to help sort clothes, pick up purchases at the food bank and stock the pantry shelves.

Wonderful Wednesday After-School Program

This is where St. Paul Children’s Foundation began when two faithful members of St. Paul’s United Methodist Church felt called to minister to children of the community. Today more than 100 elementary and middle school children and 40 adult volunteers meet weekly during the school year to hear Bible stories, sing songs, share a snack, go on field  trips and be nurtured by the loving volunteers.

Boy Scout Troop No. 363

Scouting provides enrichment opportunities for boys whose families have limited resources. The lessons learned in Scouts will impact these young men for the rest of their lives.

Andrews Park

Neighbors requested and pitched in to help construct this “pocket park” designed for young children. It is a safe, fun gathering place for neighborhood families. The summer lunch program serves many children during the summer.
