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 PRESENT
Where are We Now
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 50+ 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 Is God Doing?
We have now had the honor of being a part in baptizing more than 25 people in Jesus Name. Many
have received the PROMISE of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit just like in the Book of Acts.
