OUR HOUSTON PARTNERSHIPS
Our church’s local partnerships reflect God’s heart for the widow, orphan, sojourner, and poor. Through our network of House Churches, we partner with over twenty trusted local organizations that serve vulnerable communities with dignity and hope. These partnerships allow us to engage personally and meaningfully, meeting real needs with the love of Christ. Together, we seek the flourishing of our city and the people God calls us to love. See below for examples of House Churches living our their mission to serve our city.
““Do not oppress the widow, the fatherless, the sojourner, or the poor, and let none of you devise evil against another in your heart.””

The Widow
Seven Mile Road volunteers headed to camp with teen moms. YoungLives supports pregnant and parenting teens through time-tested methods of life-on-life mentoring. Teens moms are empowered to make positive choices, set and achieve goals, and live a future rooted in Christ.
We believe that God calls His people to protect and care for those who are most vulnerable and have known the sorrow of loss or abandonment. Out of this posture of compassion, we long to provide a loving sense of community for widows, both figurative and literal, in our midst.
The Orphan
The Oak Forest House Church partnered with BEAR (Be A Resource), an organization that provides support and resources for abused, neglected, and at-risk children in our community. In addition to serving at BEAR’s Resource Center, the House Church also packed hygiene kits and backpacks.
We have a unique desire to love the orphan as we believe that God is "a father to the fatherless" (Psalm 68:5). He calls us to care for those without family as a reflection of His own steadfast love.
THE SOJOURNER
Each year, a group of Seven Mile Road volunteers help with Prestige Learning Institute’s English Camp for children from immigrant and refugee families. PLI equips and ministers to these families throughout the year, helping them to find hope and community through meaningful relationships.
We love the sojourner because God calls His people to welcome the stranger, remembering that we, too, were once foreigners in need of grace.
The Poor
The Hermann Park House Church spent time with Jericho Road Renewal residents over a shared meal. Jericho Road serves the community in the southeast part of Houston by providing supportive housing for marginalized men and women.
We believe that serving those without material belongings is an extension of the radical generosity that God has extended to us. We long to be the hands and feet of Christ as we demonstrate God's justice, mercy, and heart for the lowly.
