Emmaus Ministries

Volunteers are needed for Emmaus Ministries. Emmaus is a ministry that serves at Taft St. every Monday and seeks to show the love of Jesus to men exploited through prostitution right here in the community surrounding our church. Emmaus Ministries needs volunteers to make lunches, either one time or on a consistent basis. Other opportunities include hospitality, serving meals, night-time outreach, and prayer partners. For more information, please email David: david [at] emmausministrieshouston.org.

Face to Face

Every Wednesday from 12:30pm - 3:00pm at Hermann Park. Face to Face is similar to Simple Feast, except on a weekday.  It is a fantastic opportunity to join in community and build relationships with our friends at Hermann Park.  For more information or to help with donations of food/fresh fruit, please email Manuel: Manuel [at] ecclesiahouston.org.

No Studio Studios

Every Thursday from 10:30am - 2:00pm in the venue space at Taft. No Studio Studios is a place where homeless artists can create, store, and electronically market their art. We are a workspace for the displaced. Currently, we are in need of art supplies such as paint, brushes, canvas, paper, easels and more. If you have any interest in donating or have further questions, please email Manuel: manuel [at] ecclesiahouston.org.

Generation One Tutors

Generation One, a non-profit ministry located in the third ward of Houston, is in need of tutors for the Each One Teach One Tutoring Program where tutors are matched one on one with kids in pre-k-5th grade. Tutoring runs Monday-Thursday from 4-6pm. If you are interested please Email: tutor [at] generationone.net.

Make Art or Die

The first Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at Ecclesia, join us for Make Art Or Die. We know that all artists have a voice in their heads that says “Stop being irresponsible and get a real job.” We want to counter that with support, inspiration, community, and vision. All creatives welcome. Contact Scott Erickson (scott [at] ecclesiahouston.org) for more information.

Homeless Ministry

Ecclesia’s homeless ministry is about sharing the love of our heav­enly Father. It’s about meeting brothers and sisters where they’re at and loving on them as best we can. Yes, we do provide bus passes, toiletries, clothing and food. We do provide work and assistance in obtaining legal documents…but we believe these things alone are not the real answer in leading people to a better life. We believe the answer lies in the sacrifice of our Liberating King Jesus Christ and what that represents. We believe LOVE is the answer. This ministry is about entering into that love…living out love by sharing ourselves and our resources while pointing towards the Source of that perfect eternal love. If you would like to become involved in doing that please contact Manuel Sanchez at: ecclesia.livingstones [at] gmail.com

Prayer Team

Please join us on Sundays at 3:30pm in the Children’s area as we pray for the Body of Christ here and abroad, and for a hurting world around us. Brokenness, direction or whatever the cry of your heart may be, Jesus invites you to sit at His feet and incline your hear to Him in the attitude of prayer and contemplation. For more information, please email Linda: lindalynnmunoz [at] yahoo.com.

Simple Feast

Every Sunday after the 11:00am gathering in James Bute Park. Come serve, eat lunch and hang out with our homeless brothers and sisters. Contact Jacky Bui at jaxbui@gmail.com for more information. You are also welcome to simply show up in the coffee shop after the 11am gathering ends. To help with donations of water, fresh fruit, and prayers, please email Manuel: manuel [at] ecclesiahouston.org.

Francis Street Garden

The Frances St. garden is on a piece of property in Houston's historic 3rd Ward. We intend for the garden to be an example of how something that seems to be in a debilitated condition if loved on, tended to, prayed for, and invested in can be transformed into something beautiful, filled with the Glory of God. We Seek to unearth the latent beauty of neighborhoods through sustainable gardens that provides fresh produce, authentic community and hope for the future. For more information on how to volunteer or donate resources please contact Manuel Sanchez at: manuel [at] ecclesiahouston.org or find them on Facebook.
