OUR
PROMISE
What is the PROMISE?
Acts 2:39
For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that
are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
Acts
1:4-5
(Jesus), being assembled together with them, commanded them
that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of
the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the
Holy Ghost not many days hence.
On the Day of Pentecost the Holy Spirit filled
believers with the supernatural power of God and empowered them to change their world.
OUR HISTORY
Our
First Service
That is why we started
The PROMISE Church on May 30, 2004 Pentecost Sunday. At our first service we had more than 55 people in attendance!
Our Origin
We started with a Bible Study Meeting at Sis. Coco Herrera's
home with a little over 10 at the meeting. We then started meeting at Sis. Rosa Espinoza's home until we outgrew her
house and needed a new place to hold our Bible Studies.
God increased our attendence
to the point of having 56 people in our Bible Studies. This neccesitated a move and TLC Mortgage, on Clearwood, graciously
opened their doors for us to have Bible Studies there.
Where We Have Been
Our first two service where held at the
South Houston Community Center.
The Lord then led us to rent a Methodist church that
was no longer being used. The people from El Buen Pastor UMC have been very generous to us and we appreciate them allowing
us to use their building. We now average 70+ in Sunday School with some Sundays seeing us with over 100 in attendance.
God is truly Blessing!!!
New Building Purchase And Upgrades
Through God's grace and lots of prayer, we were able to purchase this building on August 8, 2006. We
have also remodeled the main sanctuary and had our inauguration ceremony on Sunday November 19, 2006. We had 150 in
attendence on that day! Praise God for all those who visited.
What
God Has Done
HURRICANE IKE
After the destruction cause by
Hurricane Ike in September 2008, we had to remodel the entire sanctuary again. Our members worked endless hours to prepare
our sanctuary for worship.

On March18-20,
our church had the privilege to sponsor BOOT CAMP with Matt Maddix. We had an awesome fellowship and discipleship and

SUMMER 2010
This past summer, we were blessed
to be able to increase our Vacation Bible School from two weeks to eight weeks and also provide a free boxed lunch to every
child every day. We had many children who had never heard about Jesus attend and receive food for their bodies and spirits.
