General Information

Civics is an excellent way for your children to learn first – hand how our political system is organized and about the inner workings of multiple occupations. We have lively discussions at all of our classes as we interact with our speakers. During the Civics classes, we hear from elected officials or prominent leaders who serve our communities. Please arrive early to mingle with our guests and attendees.

The FEAST Civics Class started over 15 years ago and we have hosted scores of city leaders as well as state level dignitaries. Training the leaders of tomorrow is very important for the community.  Our speakers  share about their personal journeys and about their vocations. They entertain questions from the students and parents. Speakers can also take questions during their presentation. Business Casual is our dress.  We conclude at noon with a complimentary lunch.

This class is offered completely FREE each month, but your donations are appreciated. It is a wonderful opportunity to meet influential political figures and to educate them about the values of homeschooling! 

Email Gale at hopegale50@gmail.com with any questions about the FEAST Civics Program.

Former Speaker Biographies

Crystal Chandler, Judge of County Court #13.  I see this court as integral to the health and safety of our community because it affords the judge an opportunity to address the root causes of domestic abuse and works to stop the sometimes deadly cycle of domestic violence.

Raised by my grandmother in a small Texas town with a single blinking yellow light in humble conditions, I knew that to make it in life I had to focus on getting an education. At sixteen, I moved to San Antonio and upon graduating from Winston Churchill High School, I put myself through college at The University of the Incarnate Word where I graduated with honors.  I was the first person in my family to obtain a college degree.  I attended law school at St. Mary’s University and began my career in public service because I wanted to help create change for those who may have come from similar backgrounds.

I took the bench in 2015 with a deep commitment to public service and extensive criminal law experience, having spent 2 years as a judicial briefing attorney at Texas’ highest criminal court, and more than 15 years as a prosecutor with the Bexar County Criminal District Attorney’s office. 

As a felony trial prosecutor, I spent several years specializing in the prosecution of domestic violence murders, death and serious child abuse cases, sex crimes against children and other violent crimes.  As an appellate prosecutor, I handled these cases before the appellate courts, including the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals and the United States Supreme Court.  While a prosecutor, I also sought other ways to help people. I taught criminal justice classes at San Antonio College where I encouraged my students to believe in themselves and to strive for the extraordinary.  I helped found a national human trafficking organization – Chapter 61 Ministries (now known as Truckers Against Trafficking) – a world recognized anti-human trafficking non-profit.    

As a former felony trial and appellate prosecutor specializing in the field of criminal family violence and child abuse, and while serving as judge of County Court #13, I’ve met with thousands of victims, defendants, and their families. I have personally witnessed the impact family violence has had on them. It’s this hands-on experience during my 20 years of practicing criminal law that allows me to identify how to help ensure the safety of victims while taking a comprehensive approach with defendants by imposing just sentences and providing tools to help them change their pattern of behavior.

As a judge, I have handled over 7,000 cases, presided over more than 60 jury trials, cleared the case backlog, ensured that police are aware of orders of protection as bond conditions on violent offenders and enforced compliance of firearm surrenders in domestic violence cases.  I’ve also created two initiatives at no additional cost to the taxpayers that help young adults and people with mental illness get their lives back on track. I routinely speak about family violence and human trafficking.  I am a member of several legal and community organizations, including the Bexar County Task Force on Family Violence. I have been married to my husband, Scott Zimmerer, for nearly 20 years and am the proud parent of two wonderful teenage sons, Luke and Thomas. We are also part of the Community Bible Church family.  Bexar County is our home and I want to make a positive difference.

Domestic violence affects all members of our Bexar County community, and County Court #13 is about making home a safe place for every person in every family.

She spent many years at the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office and several years as a solo practitioner concentrating on Criminal and Juvenile defense in State and Federal Court.
