Our Story

In 2006, Woodmen Valley Chapel formed The Center for Strategic Ministry as an affiliated non-profit organization. The CSM provides opportunities for partnerships typically unavailable to a local church. We are a nimble organization that can meet some of the cities pressing needs.

As a separate non-profit, The CSM has a separate charter, board, and finances from Woodmen Valley Chapel. While CSM activities can collaborate with Woodmen, its activities are designed to meet a community need rather than a church objective.

Over the last 20 years, The CSM has undertaken various projects that have come and gone. Land development for affordable senior housing at Shiloh Mesa, working with homeless neighbors at the Express Inn near I-25 and US-24, establishing a mobile kitchen for emergency relief and mentoring in elementary schools are just a few of the past projects The CSM has undertaken. As it continues to look forward, The CSM board is working to build out pilot programs and catalyze current nonprofits to meet community challenges and work toward a thriving city.
