Ministry of Charity

Reaching the Margins

True diakonia extends beyond the sanctuary walls. Our outreach efforts focus on meeting people exactly where they are, offering both spiritual comfort and material support to families facing hardship in the Galveston-Houston area.

Through partnerships with local food pantries and shelter networks, we coordinate volunteer efforts that allow parishioners to live out their baptismal call to servant leadership.
