Outreach Center

The St. Alban’s Outreach Center welcomes our outreach partners in ministry into the space formerly used by St. Alban’s Memorial School. For questions, please contact Elaine Karban, our Outreach Center Coordinator.  From the Outreach Center, we are pleased to minister with and to:

Central Texas String Academy

Using the Suzuki method, the Central Texas String Academy (CTSA) teaches children to play stringed instruments, mainly during the afternoon hours. CTSA students and instructors contribute to the worship life at St. Alban’s by playing in our highly attended Advent Worship for the Evening, which is an annual gift to the city of Waco. CTSA students also form an orchestra for occasional worship services and individual students provide music during communion, mainly during the spring. For more information, see www.centexstrings.com.

Waco Children’s Theatre

Under the direction of Linda Haskett, Waco Children’s Theatre (WCT) teaches children the performing arts, mainly during Saturday classes. The WCT usually offers a Christmas show in December in the St. Alban’s Parish Hall, open to all in Waco as a holiday treat. For more information, see www.wacochildrenstheatre.com.

Camp Fire USA

Camp Fire provides afterschool and summer care to the children of Waco. In our Outreach Center, the offices of Camp Fire are on the second floor, as well as four classrooms. Camp Fire has built an Outdoor Classroom behind the Outreach Center to teach children gardening and composting skills. For more information, see www.campfiretejas.org.
