Missions
ON MISSION IN OUR COMMUNITY AND WORLD
Resurrection Church provide support and assistance to people in need, offering help in the form of education, medical care, family relationships, survivors of human trafficking and more..
SERVE WITH OUR partners
The Missions team strives to keep the congregation updated with the initiatives and impact backed by Resurrection Church. The spirit of generosity is alive and well at Resurrection Church, changing lives and making a difference for the Kingdom of God. Here are a few third quarter highlights and upcoming opportunities to serve. Please check out the Missions Monthly Calendar for times and opportunities to give of your time to our recurring mission ministries as well.
Resurrection Rice
Our Resurrection Rice mission with KCM has yielded just shy of 10,000 pounds of rice since its inception a year ago. But our Stuff the Holidays Advent-season of giving mission program will take a multi-pronged approach to sharing Christ’s love. Not only will it benefit KCM’s Food Pantry with holiday meal sides, but Sunday morning worshippers will also soon see the Angel Tree covered in ornaments. Each ornament represents a need and request from The Landing clients and their families. And last but not least, members will have an opportunity to participate in our emerging church tradition of collecting and delivering Christmas Tree Cake treats to teachers in area schools.
Please continue to bring in your boxes of stuffing, instant mashed potatoes and canned cranberry jelly for KCM through the first Sunday in December.
The missions team has done some preliminary projections, and we can’t wait to share with you the year-end impact our church has had for 2024. Thank you for your continued generosity and support!
Christ Clinic
Our new partnership with Christ Clinic and St. Paul’s Episcopal church will launch January 16 and continue thereafter on the first and third Thursday of the month. Now is the time to sign up if you have interest in serving this drop-in clinic to provide healthcare to underserved populations in our community.
The clinic will be held at St. Paul’s in Katy with both churches providing 8-10 volunteers each for various roles such as greeters, prayer partners, medical record administrators in addition to any Registered Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Physicians Assistants and Medical Doctors willing to volunteer.
Training is required and will be provided by Christ Clinic before the January 16 launch of the clinic. Please contact Les Tanner or respond to the interest form here
The Landing - Houston
The Landing is a faith based anti-trafficking organization located in Houston, Tx. Walking alongside survivors of human trafficking.
Beginning November 10- Dec. 8, look for the ornaments on the Angel Tree on Sunday mornings to fulfill a gift wish with a $25 limit for much-needed items to bless our friends at The Landing. As soon as the Christmas Tree cakes are spotted in area stores, you’ll hear more about when to bring those as well, offering welcomed support and building relationships within our community. The missions team has done some preliminary projections, and we can’t wait to share with you the year-end impact our church has had for 2024. Thank you for your continued generosity and support!
The Resurrection 7X Outreach Hub with Rescue America
We continues to meet the second Wednesday evening of every month to place calls to people ensnared in the darkness of sex trafficking. Our hub has averaged 7 exits so far from the commercial sex industry this year alone – that is 7 more lives who have been reclaimed for Christ and who are walking in freedom toward recovery and redemption! Praise God!
We will celebrate the one-year anniversary of this ministry partnership in November by writing Thanksgiving cards to survivors currently in Rescue America partner homes on their journey to recovery, and in December we will pack stockings to remind them that the Body of Christ cares for them and is thinking of them during the holiday season, which can be a difficult time for some. This seasonal change in tactic will allow RA to catch up on their caseload at the end of a record-breaking year, and give hub volunteers the unique opportunity to support survivors beyond the outset of their exiting process.
Sex trafficking is a horrific crime that doesn’t discriminate based upon age, gender, or race. Many don’t realize sex trafficking is happening right here in America - to our citizens!
In 2014 the vision of Rescue America was born. It developed from a single seed planted by God into the heart of our Founder and President, Allison Meier Madrigal. Since then, it has bloomed into a vibrant national organization that exists to rescue, revive and empower the sexually exploited through our 24/7 Rescue hotline and emergency response.
 |
Our Process: Rescue - Through direct outreach and our 24/7 Rescue hotline, we connect with survivors ready to exit the life and help facilitate their safe exit alongside trained professionals. |
Empower - Based on individual assessments, survivors then find stabilization by working with professional support who help address their mental, emotional, and spiritual needs, for long term placement in partner homes across the US.
*As of June 8, 2022
Take a look at our map. Rescues are taking place across the nation through the work of Rescue America. Every time you volunteer at your Outreach Hub, you take our hand and join the fight. You become part of the redemptive solution for the sexually exploited across the America!
We're immensely grateful for the support offered by Rescue America, enabling us to schedule our gatherings on the 2nd Wednesday of this month. This consistent meeting time will allow us to collaborate, strategize, and strengthen our efforts in the fight against trafficking.
How You Can Help? Your involvement is crucial! If you're passionate about this cause and willing to contribute, please join us at these meetings. For inquiries or to participate, kindly contact Shelley Eastland at .
Katy Christian Ministries
KCM provides light to those in darkness by helping restore broken lives through Christ centered programs that offer individuals clarity, dignity, purpose, and hope.
School-Community Partnerships
In a fast-growing district like Katy, it's a challenge to keep everyone in our big family connected. Our Partnership Schools program is an opportunity to do just that - to create a partnership with Hutsell Elementary and that share common values and goals.

We are thrilled that seven of our fellow church members have completed the 20-week training course to become Stephen Ministers. Stephen Ministers are members of our congregation who are specially trained to listen, care, encourage, and support people who are going through difficult times. Our new Stephen Ministers are: Nancy Farmer, Jane Hansen, Rich Nichols, Maki Pereira, Gina Slepicka, Bonnie Watson and Catherine Webb.
