Outreach

Joining with other area churches, we are building a new home for the Full Holiness Apostolic Gospel Church in Tamina. Hands Across the Highway joins churches from The Woodlands in this Body-building mission. Pastors Ernest and Edna Mills have worked with churches in The Woodlands before in the construction of a new Soup Kitchen to serve the hungry in this historic African-American community. Tamina was established shortly after the Civil War as a freed-slave town and continues to have many opportunities for service and witness to Christ.

Building on Faith is a Habitat for Humanity project in Conroe. Together with twelve other congregations, we are helping to build affordable housing leading toward home ownership for people who are moving out of poverty. Habitat for Humanity requires that home recipients pay into the construction with sweat equity, and they then purchase the house at what Millard Fillmore calls a "biblical interest-rate loan," that is, at 0%. Habitat homes are built by volunteers

Ministry to public housing residents of Tamarac Pines and Copperwood include various forms of support, companionship, fellowship, and prayer. The Young of Hearts and Youth groups help celebrate residents' birthdays. Men's and Women's groups provide moral support and fellowship. The Elders continue to keep all residents in prayer.

The Pregnancy Assistance Center North provides free pregnancy tests, counseling, and pregnancy support options to women, men and youth who experience unexpected pregnancies. Members of the congregation volunteer at PACN, and the Center also receives community service outreach support for the church.

The Community Clinic provides free health care, legal services, and counseling to those whose only pre-condition is that they have no insurance. Staffed by six volunteer physicians, the Clinic offers services otherwise unavailable to the economically disadvantaged. Most of the Clinic's clients work, but in jobs that do not provide benefits.

Interfaith of The Woodlands' mission is to build a more loving and caring community from early childhood education to senior advocacy, from job training to direct food assistance. Volunteers from the church work with the Food Pantry, Worksource, Project S.O.F.T., and other Interfaith projects.
