Your session is currently in conversation with Presbyterian Children's Homes and Services (PCHAS) about joining them in a ministry that they would finance, build, insure, staff, and operate on our campus. The concept calls for a single parent family ministry that will provide temporary housing and services for single mothers with children who are in great need of ministry by the church.
PCHAS would build three single family duplexes and one office duplex on our campus in the area of land we own on West Bellfort Ave beyond our parking lot on the side where the recycling bins sit. The office duplex will house a qualified full time PCHAS employee who will live on site and will oversee the program twenty-four hours a day seven days a week. This is a bold vision and a wonderful ministry opportunity that God has brought to us.
Copies of the proposal are in the church office. We can also send you a copy by email or you can view it online. PCHAS has written to the Meyerland Home Owners Association outlining the proposed new ministry for single parents with children. The Meyerland HOA has not voiced any objections to the project. Keep this ministry concept in prayer as we move forward with a discernment process that will include the session, congregation, presbytery and PCHAS.
Your excited about new ministry opportunities here pastor,
Jon B.
