Thank you for a wonderful 2015! We really do have much to be thankful for:
CHURCH AND SCHOOL LEADERS
Thanks to all the church and school leaders who have shared your expertise with us about your church-school partnerships. Thanks also to all of you who have expressed interest in starting new partnerships! How wonderful that so many of you believe with us that our city could be profoundly and positively impacted if EVERY school in Greater Houston was served by a local church. As Kevin Palau writes in his book
Unlikely, EVERY need that exists in our communities exists in our local schools. And in a church-school partnership, EVERY person in our churches and local schools can work together to make a difference. See our new video below that explains this in more detail!

EDUCATION, NONPROFIT, AND COMMUNITY LEADERS
We're grateful for the school district officials, nonprofit leaders, and community transformation practitioners across Greater Houston (and in fact, across the country!) that have connected us with excellent research and programs so that we can equip churches with the information and resources they need to serve their local schools effectively.
