MISSION :: OUTREACH

FCC serves two at-risk schools in our area: Gordon Elementary and Shearn Elementary.
Our desire is simply to serve the teachers, students and administration in ways that bless them and meet concrete needs. We do this through beautification projects, back to school events, providing meals for teachers and mentoring kids.

Please contact our pastor, Michael Dunn [ mdunn at fcchou.org ] if you'd like to be involved!.

We consider mission work to be any way we can serve a church member in need, a stranger in our community, or a nation in the world. We initiate various missions and organize outreach opportunities on a local and global level. We partner with other local churches and groups such as Habitat for Humanity, and work with local food banks, emergency relief, and help for the homeless. If you are looking for a place to serve and make a difference, contact us through [admin at fcchou.org] or (713-526-2561).

Men's Breakfast: meets monthly for fellowship and local service/ mission projects. Contact Michael Dunn [mdunn at fcchou.org] for more information...

We are one of the Member Congregations with Houston's Christian Community Service Center - created to be the church's response to poverty.

All coffee served at First Christian Church is Fair Trade purchased in the Disciples Coffee Project. You can buy your own coffee, tea, chocolate and other food items with their partner, Equal Exchange.

Each year at Easter we raise funds for the Disciples Rice Fund. The funds go to buy locally grown Rice that is sent to Good Samaritan Ministries. The rice is matched with beans from North Texas and together they provide a balanced meal.
