Welcome to the Andrew P. Stewart Center
The Andrew P. Stewart Center is located in the southeast Atlanta neighborhood of Reynoldstown. The Reynoldstown community sits in the historical shadow of Atlanta's once-active mill district. The neighborhood initially sprung up to house freed slaves who were working on the railroad, then became a community of mill worker families. Today Reynoldstown is a place characterized by both challenges and opportunities. Although the neighborhood has endured difficult times in the past there exist in Reynoldstown the resources necessary to achieve a vibrant community that remains connected to its rich heritage. The Stewart Center seeks to partner with Reynoldstown’s greatest resource, its residents, in pursuing a bright future for all that call the neighborhood home. The Stewart Center engages in relationship based ministries in which the love of Christ is shared and the peoples’ identity is celebrated. The Center’s ministry has primarily focused on the children and families of Reynoldstown and will continue to seek community development through the neighborhood’s young people. The Andrew P. Stewart Center began in 1917 and has been in Reynoldstown since 1950. The Center has undergone many changes in its history but remains committed to embodying Jesus’ love in the Reynoldstown community.
Our Vision
We strive to empower the members of our community who do not have the necessary resources to meet their own physical, mental or spiritual needs by providing holistic, relationship-based programs.
Our Mission
The Andrew P. Stewart Center exists to change lives by providing quality services to children, families, and the greater community.
Current Happenings
Currently the Andrew P. Stewart Center is gearing up for its annual summer day camp. This year’s camp will run for ten weeks beginning June 1, 2010 and concluding August 6, 2010.
The Center is seeking volunteer groups to serve as camp staff for one week blocks. The volunteer groups can be youth, college, adult or some combination. If your church or group is interested in serving a week this summer at the Stewart Center please contact the office either by phone or email.
In order for the Center to be ready for camp we are looking for volunteer groups that wish to serve this spring. Groups that serve in the spring will be engaged in maintenance, remodeling and cleaning. If you are interested please contact the office.
The Stewart Center is also seeking two summer missionaries that will serve as summer long camp counselors. These persons will ideally be college, graduate or seminary students seeking an opportunity to serve God through urban ministry. Those with interest should email the Center.
