As a combined effort of Third Presbyterian Church and New
Life Presbyterian Church, the Corner Place, through
its programs and activities, seeks to build bridges between
neighbors and to provide an accessible meeting place for people
to come together in this southeast city neighborhood. |

How Can You Be Involved?
The success of the Corner Place depends upon small offerings of time and talent from large numbers of people from our churches and our community. We can use people for direct involvement with children, youth and adults for as little as an hour or two or for a weekly commitment.
