SINGLE PARENT FAMILIES

The Single Parent Ministry of Houston's First exists to provide an environment for you and your family to grow spiritually in your walk with the Lord. A central part of why we meet is to provide a support system and healthy environment for people facing common situations and hurdles. It is a safe place where you can know and be known, serve and be served, love and be loved, celebrate and be celebrated!
