Barnabas Connection Information

The Barnabas Connection is a 501(c)(3) organization governed by a board of directors with members from the community at large. Because many government and non-profit services are located thirty minutes or more from Wimberley, we work to meet a wide variety of needs for those in our immediate area – from financial and educational resources to emergency action support to counseling and referrals.
