Helping churches serve local schools ❤️ Advancing community transformation by helping churches serve local schools Our Mission: Advancing community transformation throughout Greater Houston by helping churches serve local schools.Imagine the impact on our city if EVERY school across Greater Houston had a committed church partner serving with no strings attached and no agenda. School staff and administrators already do so much, but the challenges in our local schools are often overwhelming and the search for long-term community partners is difficult. To help with this, Loving Houston works closely with school districts and church networks across Greater Houston to mobilize churches to serve. There are 4,000+ churches across Greater Houston. Your investment will allow us to reach and equip these churches to serve their local schools excellently and effectively. With your help, we can indeed advance community transformation throughout Greater Houston by helping each church serve its local school!(What about the separation of church and state? Great question! Churches can serve schools just as any other community partner would – mentoring, supporting teachers, giving donations, etc. A church can NOT proselytize, invite children to church, or initiate conversations on religion. However, the possibilities for relationship-building and positive impact are priceless and innumerable. The key to effective, sustainable church-school partnerships is open dialogue, mutual respect, and adherence to school district guidelines. Loving Houston interacts closely with school districts across Greater Houston, and our Equipping Sessions and Leader Gatherings help equip churches to serve schools with excellence and discretion.)John 13:34 A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
