Community OutreachWe have been entrusted to share the good news of Christ in our homes, our personal lives, our community, and our world. We are excited about this responsibility and present to you several of our community outreach programs in place to share the love of Christ.
Point Man Houston Veterans' MinistryPoint Man International Ministries is a member of the veteran community in Houston. A major focus of Point Man Houston is our involvement with Veterans Incarcerated (The Flagship Chapter) at the Ramsey unit of the TDCJ. It is our privilege and honor to be associated with this organization. The focus of Veterans Incarcerated is to remember that, regardless of what may have transpired later in life, these men served their country honorably and well, many of them in times of war. Please contact us for additional information or just to talk:
Baptist Mission CentersWe've changed our name! Baptist Mission Centers is now Mission Centers of Houston. Our new website will be www.missioncenters.org
For over 45 years, the Baptist Mission Centers have worked to transform the lives of people living in Houston's inner city and the people who come here to serve them. The BMC offers various ministries from its three sites to serve the communities in which it operates.
These ministries include the following:

World Changers
Every summer, our youth group and adult chaperones participate in a World Changers project. World Changers is a ministry of the North American Mission Board's student mobilization division, and is involved in construction volunteer ministry, community projects and Power Plant, which is a church planting project. This summer, our church will participate in the project in Gallup, New Mexico, and will be working with residents of the Navajo nation. For more information, you can contact the church office at 713-864-4447.
MANNAMinistry Assistance of the Near Northwest Alliance (MANNA) is an interfaith alliance organized in response to the love of God. It is our desire to respect the dignity and of every individual and to offer assistance with humility and compassion. We believe that true religion is best exhibited in caring for the poor, the homeless, the needy, and all who have no access to the abundant resources our society posseses to meet their own basic human needs.
MANNA serves as a social service agency for its member congregations--its goal to reach out to those in need in the community. This is accomplished through the operation of an Assistance Office, Food Hotline and Thrift Shop.
