Helping kids succeed through Christ
Since its beginnings in 1902, Union Gospel Mission Twin Cities has reached out to children and youth, showing them the love of Jesus and providing spiritual, educational, and emotional support that helps them to succeed.
We stay committed to the goal of creating disciples of Christ who value themselves and others and have the tools to succeed in school and in life. From babies to young children, the Mission loves to bless the youngest members of our Mission community and their families.

Child Development Center
Transforming kids at risk into kids with hope
109 9th Street 
East, St. Paul, MN 55101 | (651) 224-9970
Our Child Development Center is a safe place for young children to grow holistically through active learning centers and group activities.
Children learn to respect themselves and others and prepare to succeed in school. The program also supports parents by providing relevant resources to assist them in parenting and engaging them with “grandparent” volunteers who give them love and attention.
The program is offered to children who live at the Mission’s Naomi Family Residence or the community and is open to children ages 6 weeks to kindergarten.
