Coaches Outreach is a non-denominational, para-church ministry that exists to impact communities through the Christ-like leadership of coaches transformed by Biblical truth. Coaches make a difference in broken lives, so we partner with them to help make their impact even more powerful.  A typical high school football coach will impact thousands of kids during their career.  Coaches are on this mission, called by God, and strategically placed in schools to minister to kids in a way that few can. When the ministry began, coaches asked for help in two ways, “Help us stay strong in our marriages, and help us study the Bible.” God is using Coaches Outreach to do just that.

We equip coaches through relevant, “hands-on” Bible studies written just for coaches. The Bible study playbooks are FREE to coaches participating in a Coaches Outreach Bible Study at their school, and are also free to coaches’ spouses who request it.

We encourage coaches through Summer Marriage Retreats designed just for coaching couples. These weekend retreats feature respected Bible teachers, inspiring music, good food, fellowship with other coaching couples, and fun activities.

We also serve, encourage, and connect coaches’ wives through The Reach. At least three times each semester, hundreds of wives meet geographically in small groups to filter the season and everyday life through the Word of God.

* Mission Arlington is a Christian based organization working with those in need in our city. *

Servant Leadership

Matthew 23:10 reminds us that we should not be called leaders, for our One true leader is Jesus Christ.  God is responsible for all that has happened in and through this place, and we give Him all credit.  Luke 22:26 teaches us that an effective leader will first be a servant.  Our heart and our hope is to lead well, without fear, but always in the spirit of service and humility.

A Dedication to Prayer

Scripture teaches us to pray without ceasing (1 Thess. 5:17).  We are to be faithful both “in season and out of season” (2 Timothy 4:2).  This family called Mission Arlington®/Mission Metroplex® believes in and is committed to the power of prayer.  Ministry without connection to God, no matter how intense the effort, won’t be effective or fruitful over time.

Meeting Physical Needs in Jesus’ Name

Matthew 25:37ff teaches us that there is a connection between the physical and the spiritual, and that caring for people who are hurting is important to our Lord.  Mission Arlington®/Mission Metroplex® wants to meet the physical needs of people wherever and whenever possible.  But the greatest gift we have to offer is the free gift of God’s love for each one through His son in Jesus Christ (John 3:16).

The Bible as a Foundation For Ministry

We believe that the Scriptures are inspired by God and are profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16).  We love the Lord and His word.  Today we host Bible studies in about 354 locations around the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

Love For All People

When the angels announced the news of Jesus’ birth to the Shepherds, they proclaimed clearly that the gospel was good news for “all people” (Luke 2:10). Each and every person matters to God.  No person is beyond the reach of His love.  The truth is that we have been recipients of that love.  It is our joy to pass it along to each one who comes along our path.

The ministries at Mission Arlington®/Mission Metroplex® continue to evolve in response to the needs of our community.

Second Chance Hoops Basketball League

Vision

The Second Chance Hoops Program started in January 2017. The purpose of the program is to provide competitive basketball opportunities for high school boys in the Arlington Independent School District who are not members of their school’s basketball program.

These young men did not participate on their school’s basketball team because some are lacking in skill development, not meeting UIL eligibility requirements, or work and family responsibilities that would conflict with their school’s basketball team schedule.

The young men who participates in our program will have an opportunity to improve their skills in a Christian environment and with Christian coaches.  There will be a devotion and testimonial period during each session.

Partnership

The Second Chance Hoops Program will partner with the Boys and Girls Club of Arlington. The Boys and Girls Club will provide their facilities for league play.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer for this program, as a coach, referee, score keeper or sponsor, please contact Jimmy Walker at 817 846-4970, or email him at jimmy0206@att.net.

International Students, Incorporated (ISI)

International Students Incorporated (ISI) seeks to help international students develop Christian
friendships while they are in the U.S. and share the love of Jesus as we serve and help students adapt to
American culture.

Our Mission

Students are separated from family and friends, often feel lonely and isolated and are unsure about how to relate to America’s culture and its people. Sadly, many international students are never invited into an American home. Many miss the opportunity to have an American friend.  ISI exists to provide community and family to International students.

During the year, ISI hosts many events for International students such as Big Howdy , Thanksgiving Feasts and Tejas.  These events expose students to American culture and give volunteers an opportunity to meet students.  You can provide food for these events and attend and meet some amazing students.  ISI also has a Friendship Partner program where students and Americans are matched and can meet together as often as possible.  It is a way of offering “family” to students while they are away from home.

The Salvation Army has been serving those in need since 1865 when it was founded by William and Catherine Booth. Our church has a passion to help people who ended up on the margins of life. We believe that serving the lost and the least is the epitome of the ministry of Jesus. The mission statement of The Salvation Army says that: “Our mission is to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His Name without discrimination.” In the Arlington/Mansfield corps of The Salvation Army we strive daily to do the most good through: Character Building programs, taking place on Wednesday nights. We always need volunteers to assist us in classrooms while teaching, on field trips and throughout the year for various activities. Our food pantry operates on Thursdays and throughout the day as well as the week we need volunteers to help us with preparing food bags, and their distribution. Our fundraising campaign is called the Red Kettle Campaign. It provides 25% of our year revenue. November 1st through December 24th we are always in a desperate need of volunteers who could bell ring for us at the assigned location helping us raise funds for those in need. One can save lives simply through ringing the bell. On the average an hour of Bellringing can raise money for 35 hot meals. No skills necessary, no certification needed to help those who are struggling! 

Our soup kitchen is feeding program for a homeless population. Every Saturday we prep meals for 50 people and serve them in the afternoon, in the post COVID time we will be providing showers as well. We need volunteers who can help us cook, serve meals, and clean up after the service. 

We are providing services to the senior population during our Friday morning senior club meetings and we need volunteers as well to assist us with that and to help us plan these meetings. The meetings take place 10 am – 12:30 pm. 

Help us do the most good and be the hands of Jesus in this world!

The mission of the Miracle League DFW is to provide children and young adults the opportunity to play baseball regardless of their abilities and to promote community support and sponsorship of our organization.

Buddies can be parents, students, athletes, business leaders, or any individuals or groups wishing to volunteer their time. We also need volunteer game day announcers and volunteers to help manage our new miracle league player parking lot.  Please contact us through our website for more information.

In 1979, Arlington Charities began with a handful of volunteers distributing food to those in need. The nonprofit’s mission and primary function are to lead the battle against hunger and poverty for Arlington residents and those living within the Arlington I.S.D. boundaries. We provide supplemental groceries Monday-Friday with our drive-through food distribution where clients receive fresh supplemental groceries. Food includes fresh fruit and produce, a variety of bakery items, meats and deli, dairy, pantry staples, canned goods and more. Recipients must make an appointment online or by calling 817-275-1511 to receive services. 

We offer our senior clientele and those with mobility issues a grocery delivery program so that they could receive nutritious foods without having to choose between prescriptions or a healthy meal. Our case managers touch base with those enrolled in the program, not only to assess their needs but also to provide socialization. 

Additionally, Arlington Charities also provides ‘to-go’ nourishment for our unsheltered population every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday during lunchtime. In addition to ready to eat food, these individuals also receive hygiene products, clothing, and other essentials as needed. 

It is with pride that we announce our newest recognition from the Greater Arlington Chamber of Commerce as their ‘2021 Non-Profit of the Year’. Arlington Charities is always in need of volunteers and would love for you to join our team of Hunger Heroes. We have other ways to give back as well. Ask about our sponsorship opportunities, and donation drives help keep food on the table to nourish your neighbors who need it most.
