Our Story

¡Vamos Ya! is a ministry of Divine Redeemer Presbyterian Church, that serves at-risk youth in the near-Westside community of San Antonio, Texas. ¡Vamos Ya! guides our neighborhood youth to realize their full potential and grow into productive people through holistic support and caring relationships.

Divine Redeemer is a Hispanic, bi-lingual Presbyterian church located in the heart of the west-side of San Antonio. At its founding in 1915, Divine Redeemer’s congregation was composed of first-generation immigrant families that lived within this community and were served by its ministries. We continue today as a vital urban congregation and have been recognized by our denomination as one of 12 exemplary congregations doing urban ministry. Family empowerment through education lies at the core of our labor across these decades.

In 2000, after listening to local families receiving food from the House of Neighborly Service Emergency Food Pantry, we discerned a variety of opportunities for outreach that have expanded and strengthened our effectiveness as a community congregation. This included ESL Classes, an Exercise, and Dance community for women called Aero Nights and Ritmo Saludable, family decompression retreats at the HEB Foundation Camp, Boy Scout Troop 52, and ¡Vamos Ya!.

The mission of Divine Redeemer Presbyterian church is Loving, Serving, Sharing, and Growing the Kingdom of God in our lives and neighborhood so that all of us may experience the transforming power of God’s love and justice.
