In the year of 2001 Pastor James E. Nash saw the
need for the youth to be off of the streets and in a place where they would be
safe. The place was the Marcie L. Keys Activity Center, which is named after
the oldest member of the St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church. The purpose and
mission of the Center is simple. We want to offer the community, youth and
senior citizens in the community a safe, Christian environment to meet and
fellowship with one another. Our hope is by providing a variety of age
appropriate, free, self-led activities under Christian leadership we will
reduce the social pressures, risks and hazzards teenagers face during their
free time. 
The Grand Opening - Oct. 26, 2002 @ 8302 Colonial
Lane in the Sunnyside area of Houston.
Since the Center open there has been
an average of 60- 70 youth at the center daily after school and during the
summer in the afternoon.
There has been an average of 30-35 Senior Citizens every Thursday for
Senior Day Out and to participate in Project Hope
through P. V. University focusing on Health Issues & Healthy Eating Habits
for Seniors.
