Leader Bio:
Dr. Remus E. Wright has a tremendous passion for God’s word coupled with a love for God’s people. He has a contagious spirit of generosity that flows through every facet of his ministry. Having received his mandate from God, Pastor Wright, obediently fulfills his calling as Senior Pastor of The Fountain of Praise.
Called to ministry in 1983, under the leadership of Bishop Morris E. Golder, Pastor Wright began his ministry as an evangelist and a singer, sharing the gospel in cities throughout the nation. In 1991, he was called to the pastorate of South Post Oak Baptist Church, a historical beacon in Houston for over forty years.
In 2000, the church adopted the name, The Fountain of Praise, a name that fully characterizes the spirit of the congregation. Pastor Wright has seen the fulfillment of Ephesians 3:20 in his life – “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” Beginning with 150 members in 1991, membership at The Fountain of Praise now exceeds 24,700. In two capacity-filled services each Sunday, Pastor Wright and his anointed leadership team ministers to the needs of the community. With over 100 active ministries, The Fountain of Praise is making a difference in the lives of its parishioners and the community. Pastor Wright and his wife, Co-Pastor Mia Wright, are an anointed duo that God is using to make a change in the lives of people.
His vision is uncompromisingly clear, with one central principle; to build and develop a kingdom of empowered people for God. Holding firmly to the commissioned mandate in Matthew 28:18-20, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations”, Pastor Wright has taken the gospel into national and international communities of the world. As an active participant in both foreign and local missions, he was instrumental in establishing three churches in Zimbabwe, while supporting The Fountain of Praise in Nigeria, The Fountain of Praise in Cachoeira, Bahia, Brazil and local churches in Houston.
Pastor Wright received his Master of Divinity degree in Biblical Languages from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and his Bachelor of Arts degree in Religious Studies and Business Marketing from Martin Center University in Indianapolis, Indiana. He is an active participant in the Harvard University Summer Leadership Institute Program for Economic Development through which he has been certified as a developer of faith-based community development programs. He has served on the boards of Madison High School Community Relations and the Westland YMCA. Pastor Wright also serves as a Spiritual Advisor to the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Department, as well as many entertainers and professional athletes.
In April 2007, The Fountain of Praise purchased a 153,000 square foot facility on 14.5 acres that will provide opportunities to grow and develop new ministries, programs and partnerships. The FountainLife Center, is the second of two campuses that includes the Worship Center on Hillcroft Avenue.
In 2008, Pastor Wright was invited to present at the Oxford Round Table at the University of Oxford in England. His presentation, Hip Hop and The Church: A Clash Between Religion and Secularism? Or An Opportunity to Bridge the Gap sparked thoughtful discussion among religious leaders from across the globe.
Dr. Wright received his Doctorate of Divinity degree from Martin University in Indianapolis, Indiana in May 2015.
Pastor Wright and his wife Co-Pastor Mia K. Wright, are a dynamic ministry team, they are dedicated servants of God, working together to make The Fountain of Praise -“A Place of Refreshing.”

The Fountain of Praise History
The history of our congregation is a living testimony to God’s vision and favor for his people. We praise Him and rejoice the presence of His anointing and favor in our ministry while anxiously anticipating the manifestation of God’s promise for The Fountain of Praise. Did the founding members for South Post Oak Baptist Church dream in 1959 that their small mission church would evolve into The Fountain of Praise? This early congregation was committed to establishing a foundation for spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ. The early church flourished and erected the former buildings of the South Post Oak Campus in less than five years.
During the 1970’s and 1980’s, the church entered an era of challenge. The community of South Post Oak became more racially diverse and, consequently, the membership changed. The church struggled with adapting ministry to the needs of this new community. Although the membership decreased, God continued to sustain the church and positioned leaders that would pave the way for a new harvest.
In 1991, the church hired its seventh leader, the current pastor, Dr. Remus E. Wright. Under his dynamic leadership, the church has experienced tremendous growth and development in ministry. Membership increased from 150 in 1991 to its current level of more than 24,700 members (as of 4/8/2016). The Fountain of Praise was recently recognized as one of the 100 fastest growing churches in the United States. Pastor Wright’s vision of restoration has been demonstrated through the evolution of over 100 ministries and programs that service the needs of the congregation and community.
In 1998, the church purchased 19 acres of land on Hillcroft Avenue between Orem and Beltway 8 to prepare for the next phase of ministry. Shortly thereafter, the congregation adopted the name change from South Post Oak Baptist Church to The Fountain of Praise; a name that encompasses our spirit of worship. We then proceeded to build a sanctuary that would be pleasing unto God.
July 27, 2002 marked a day of glorious celebration! On that day we dedicated our sanctuary to the glory of God. Since opening our new sanctuary, we have been blessed with a tremendous harvest of new members.
On April 2007, The Fountain of Praise purchased the former Mainhill Center. The facility has been renamed the FountainLife Center and is located approximately one half mile north of our Hillcroft Worship Center at the southwest corner of South Main (Highway 90) and Hillcroft Avenue. We have formed partnerships with private and public entities to develop the FountainLife Center. Our collaborative programming will provide needed community resources in the areas of healthcare, education, law, finance and economic development.
In 2014, the Legacy 20/20 campaign was launched to fund this development while securing the sustenance and continuity of our ministry. Let us continue to pray God’s blessings on The Fountain of Praise as we continue to move in our destiny.

Open our ears to hear
Blessed Lord, open our ears to hear what Thou speakest and our eyes to see as Thou seest. Give us hearts to beat in sympathy with Thine at the sight of every little child; and above all, our Lord, to understand and experience how surely and how blessedly Thou fulfilest Thy promise, "Whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me."
