Built in the 1900s, the entire South Bend block of 500 Western Avenue was at one time the hub of business, social and spiritual activity. Recently renovated and historically restored, Monroe Circle Community Center (MC3) has quickly become the cornerstone for renewal in this neighborhood.
Our goal? That everyone living in Downtown South Bend and Near West Side will know their value and take steps toward a full and meaningful life. We seek community revival by standing on the front lines of food insecurity, resulting in strong family units, decreased crime rates and deeper understanding of their personal value in Christ. As a whole, our vision is that South Bend be transformed into a vibrant community that cares for, dignifies, equips and guides each other. We want to empower the community so that it is self-initiating, taking ownership and leadership of its continued transformation.
