1955 to the Present
In 1958, the City Union Mission Women's Auxiliary was formed to provide volunteer services to the organization. The Mission moved from its home in the Elk's Building to the Boy's Club Building at 1601 Admiral Boulevard in 1960. This new location was equipped with large classrooms, a chapel, dozens of hotel-like rooms, a woodshop, gymnasium, game room and an Olympic-sized swimming pool! Soon, hundreds of inner city children were welcomed to the Mission's new Youth Center after school and on weekends. In addition to swimming, basketball and wood working, the Mission's staff provided classes in home economics, Bible, crafts and more.
Sunday School attendance reports record a membership of over 400 on many Sundays. The growing ministry added a medical and dental clinic supported by volunteer doctors and dentists and provided free care to the poverty-stricken community surrounding the Mission.
City Union Mission Men's Center building was once the Kansas City Dental College.
