Lake Houston Methodist Church is proud to be a part of the Family Promise program. The core program is a way for communities to address the challenge of family homelessness by using existing resources. Not only does this make the program cost-efficient, but it also makes it effective. Family Promise is not just about getting families into housing but addressing all the underlying issues and using the community to keep them in housing.

How it Works

Our church provides space in our buildings to serve as temporary homes. We provide a place where families can take showers, receive case management and look for housing and jobs. Lake Houston Methodist volunteers give their time making meals and sharing hospitality with our guests.

They share food, spend the night, play with children and lend their passion and expertise to help families get back on their feet. They prove that motivated people can solve family homelessness. More information can be found on the Family Promise website.

If you want to help with this outreach, contact Kelly Freeman, Missions Chair, at 281-734-1998. 

We are being required by Family Promise to have all volunteers complete Volunteer Training. The online version takes roughly 20 minutes. Here is a link to the Volunteer Page on the Family Promise of Lake Houston website. There is a link to the training on this page.

If you have children aged 13 or over who volunteer with you, they will also need to complete this training.

It is ideal that you complete this training online; however, we will have a paper copy for you to review and sign, if needed.

It is important that ALL volunteers complete this training so Family Promise of Lake Houston can maintain its status at a national level. 

There will be more information as Family Promise gets closer.
