Communities Under the Bridge

About CUB
We are now Communities Under the Bridge.

CUB was founded by Pastor Dennis Cawthon.

Communities Under the Bridge began in 1996 as Church Under the Bridge. Founded and led by Pastor Dennis Cawthon, the Gospel of Jesus was taken to areas under I-281 near the Pearl where the unhoused community was fed and provided clothing after church. This is where the original name was born…Church Under the Bridge.  

After 15 years, God blessed the ministry through three businessmen, who funded and built the beautiful church we now enjoy. Yes, God still does miracles today! The facility houses a breathtaking sanctuary, a commercial kitchen, a dining room, and a small clinic for medical and dental care.

In 2020, the Board of Directors for the ministry began strategic planning sessions. We had already enjoyed a robust community-led food program where over 100 churches and community groups have purchased, prepared, and served meals provided to the unhoused since inception. With the growth and new focus brought on during the pandemic, the food program grew from three nights a week to seven nights a week to ensure unhoused men and women had a dinner meal, especially since most restaurants and shelters were closed.

Including our partnership with Taking it to the Streets who provided food on Saturday evenings, more than 55,000 evening meals were served from the CUB gates in 2020! Growth in the other areas of the ministry birthed the new vision God gave us to become community-led in all of our programs. As a result, 2021 brought a new year, with a new name, and a new mission, as we became Communities Under the Bridge.

We are excited about the journey God has given in this season. Many new teams and individuals have already begun to serve throughout our outreach efforts and the abundant provision of Jehovah Jireh keeps pouring in. Our decision to “tithe on the tithe” has not only blessed CUB but many other ministries with which we have been able to share resources. We gave Him our total YES to being the hands and feet of Jesus!  If you are ready to give Him your YES, visit the “Get Involved” link to find out more.
