OVERVIEW Travis Park United Methodist Church (UMC) has a rich history dating back to 1846.

2 OVERVIEW Travis Park United Methodist Church (UMC) has a rich history dating back to We are a modern church, concerned about the current world we live in, but we also embrace our history and those who have gone before us, leaving a legacy of faithfulness and service to others. For more on Travis Park UMC s rich history, please visit: Travis Park UMC is located in the heart of San Antonio at the corner of Travis and Navarro. We are centrally located in the city with many downtown attractions, including the Riverwalk, within walking distance. We are across the street diagonally from the recently renovated Travis Park and between the historic Gunter and St. Anthony Hotels. We are a vibrant congregation serving the needs of individuals from throughout the San Antonio metropolitan area and especially the growing central city. In 2014, Travis Park UMC adopted a strategic plan affirming our desire to remain at the current location to serve our neighbors in downtown San Antonio. Since its founding, Travis Park UMC has undergone significant changes, not the least of which is in our building footprint. What is known as Travis Park UMC is actually four buildings that have been consolidated under one roof. These four buildings are commonly known as: the Sanctuary, the Children s, the Education, and the Youth. We also own the surface parking lot adjacent to these buildings. To meet the church s growing 21 st century needs, we are seeking interested developers/joint venturers to maximize the potential of Travis Park UMC s infrastructure. We are looking for creative solutions through a mutually beneficial arrangement (i.e. purchase, lease or joint venture) to renovate and/or repurpose all or parts of the three NON-SANCTUARY buildings along with the surface parking lot. 2
