The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan St. Louis was incorporated on April 28, 1982. The incorporators were: Maria Elena Alonso; Manuel De La O; Michael Mahler; Jennie Ojeda; Anthony B. Ramirez; Maria Isabel Thompson; Mario Santander; B. A. Villarreal; and Luis G. Zambrana. Shortly thereafter, the Chamber was accepted as an affiliate of the United Stated Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC), which currently has more than two hundred affiliates across the nation. The Chamber has striven to support and promote Hispanic small businesses. In 2009, the organization took a major step to solidifying its role as the premier Hispanic organization in the St. Louis region when it opened a Technology & Resource Center (TRC) in the City of St. Louis. The endeavor was made possible through an appropriation from the federal government obtained by Senator Christopher “Kit” Bond. The computers at the TRC were purchased with an Accelerator Grant provided by AT&T. And the software for the computers was donated by the Microsoft Corporation. Also in 2009, the Chamber established a charitable arm, the HCC STL Foundation, which will focus on youth, workforce development, and education. Major events each year include the Adelante Awards in April, the Hispanic Speakers Series in July, and the HCC Golf Tournament in September. The Chamber also plays an active role in an annual political advocacy day, Hispanic Day at Jefferson City. Through all of these efforts, the Chamber attempts to strengthen Hispanic enterprise and small and minority business integration to promote a sustainable socioeconomic development and a better quality of life in the St. Louis region. The Chamber serves as facilitator in strengthening Hispanic enterprise, it anticipates new challenges and opportunities, encourages innovation, and promotes the development of the Hispanic entrepreneurial sector. The Chamber is a vigorous and vibrant arm of the economic community whose membership is not limited to Hispanic organizations or professionals. Currently, the Chamber has 152 members. Membership in the Chamber is voluntary for all business owners and professionals. After joining, the members agree to abide by the principles, rules of conduct and regulations established by this institution for the benefit of its membership and the business community at large. The Chamber is open to those that share its goals of fostering progress to all sectors of the economy, and particularly to the Hispanic business community, for a better and stronger St. Louis region.
We are the city site of Christ Memorial Lutheran Church in South County, part of a larger effort to influence the St. Louis region with the gospel. We are Lutheran Christians. We don't believe in walking it alone, or being lone theological rangers. We walk together with about 6,000 other congregations across the country in a church body known as The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. Reliant is grounded in the historic Christian faith. We abide by the Confessions and Doctrines of the Lutheran Church. At the center of our faith is the redemptive work Jesus did for us by dying on the Cross and rising from the dead. We strongly hold to the work of God through His means of grace in Holy Communion and Baptism. Reliant Church sees the Scriptures in the Holy Bible as the inerrant Word of God. The Reliant community believes we are called to be children of God and that Christ has come to save all peoples no matter race, color, gender, or past. Humanity is offered a hope and forgiveness through faith in Jesus Christ. Reliant Church believes God has given it a commission to reach St. Louis with the Good News of Christ's forgiveness in sins and hope in eternal life. We believe God has blessed our Church with a congregation of dynamic individuals devoted to the spread of the Gospel in a loving, lively, and diverse way. Reliant is a community loved by God and sent by God. We are loved by God in Jesus Christ. This love compels us to be sent. The word "mission" comes from Latin missio, or sent. We go wherever there is need for love, the love of Christ. So far, we have sent people to Bogota, London, San Diego, Seattle, Minneapolis, South Carolina, Texas and Florida. On a weekly basis we are all sent across St. Louis, from South City to Soulard, from the West End to West County, from SLU to Wash U. We pray that the gospel of Jesus continues to go forth, as more people are loved and more people are sent.
The iconic cities of the world have defining characteristics that are instantly recognizable. Dense urban cores, vibrant arts and diverse cultural communities, and cheap and efficient public transportation are features which keep cities like New York, Chicago, and London on the map. That vibrancy one feels, the humming electricity in the air when wandering the streets of a cosmopolitan city, is the Human Current. We raise the voltage of the Human Current through people-centric design dedicated to improving access to resources in a few key areas: education, sustainability, and transit. Though we will also be selling some home goods and other retail products, our community building practice - Citizen Carpentry - will hold classes through Dabble and offer discounts to Cowry Collective Timebanking members. We are dedicated to promoting alternative economic models and decentralizing production away from big box stores. Sourcing materials locally as well as upcycling reduces transportation costs and keeps material out of landfills, which helps to reduce our carbon footprint.

Cornerstone endeavors to prepare students for a lifetime of positive social interaction and learning. We believe that children learn best from active involvement with all aspects of the world. From their earliest days at Cornerstone, students explore the beginnings of reading, writing, math, art and science as they play in water, pound on playdough, draw and paint, sing and dance, or cook and bake. Through "hands on/minds on" learning, they build the early foundations of autonomous behavior, taking responsibility for their learning, and accepting the natural consequences of their decisions.
