Who we are
Changing lives through Jesus Christ
Impact began many years ago to bring the love of Jesus Christ to the poor, the rich, the sad, the happy, the educated, the uneducated, every color and every race.
At Impact we believe that God in Heaven is our Creator, Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit is our teacher, and the Bible is the word of God sent to guide and teach us. We believe God desires for all people to know him and feel his love. At Impact we pray that all will accept the love Jesus has to offer.

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Spanish Ministry
Houston has emerged as one of the most diverse cities in the United States, and the largest group of those newly arriving is native Spanish speakers coming from Latin countries. Since its inception Impact has been a church for all people, and God has already prepared Impact to reach those people as they arrive here.
Displaced people find Jesus, love, and family in our midst. The gospel is preached in their ‘heart language’ of Spanish, even as they learn to speak English and are given the opportunity to worship in English and Spanish through bilingual services. Their children flourish through contact with Christian mentors and as their families are strengthened.
Leading the Spanish-speaking outreach to our community is 26-year veteran Impact minister Alejandro Arango, as well Dimas Velasquez,as our first Spanish-speaking male convert 25 years ago and now an elder, and our newest minister, the young and passionate Carlos Ingles.

Sunday Bible Class: 10:30 a.m.

Impact Houston Church of Christ History
In 1986 Charlie Middlebrook, Ron Sellers, and Doug Williams, three preachers from the Houston area, began to plan for a new ministry to the city of Houston. They were without experience in this area, without existing models among Churches of Christ and without monetary support. On the second Sunday morning of 1987, sixty-seven very apprehensive participants gathered at Lee Elementary School, just north of downtown, for the first worship service. They worshiped, they preached, and they shared a meal. People came from the suburbs and from shelters and neighborhoods nearby.
The vision spread quickly and Impact continued to grow. During the next ten years they would average one move per year as they outgrew facilities. They met in city parks, a YMCA, a declining housing project close to downtown and a warehouse on Washington Ave. They rented offices on Studemont for several years and started a food and clothing distribution center in a small store front on White Oak Dr. Their present property was purchased in 1992, where they met for about three years with no heating or air-conditioning while awaiting funding for conversion from a warehouse to a place of worship. Their current Distribution Center was constructed in 1993 and their Education Building completed in 1999, just in time for the summer programs that year. Impact inducted Charlie, Doug, and Ron as elders in 1999, along with Harvey Davis, Doug Brown, and Dimas Velasquez.
Impact has had a worldwide imprint. Thousands of interns have come over the years to work with Houston’s inner-city children during the summer, and many of those interns have stayed for longer periods of service and become members of Impact. Hundreds of youth groups have come both in the summers and on spring breaks to serve Houston’s inner city and be inspired to serve in their own communities. Former Impact workers and friends have been influenced to begin urban churches and ministries throughout the country, in places like Portland and New York City. Several now-independent and flourishing organizations that focus on underprivileged children have spawned from Impact, including Small Steps, a Christian pre-K program; the Youth Development Center, a Christian after-school literacy program, and Camp of the Hills, an urban-focused church camp in Texas’ hill country.
2016 finds Impact continuing to do many of the things it has become known for. Impact still invests heavily in urban Houston’s children and youth, with summer programs that reach out to 450 children and weekly Bible classes, small groups and activities throughout the year. Impact’s Distribution Center has seen sky-rocketing demand in recent years and has grown in its ability to meet those needs. Impact still provides much-needed services to the homeless, and has added days that it provides those services. Impact still has a strong presence in under-privileged communities throughout Houston, primarily through weekly Bible Studies. Impact has also begun several new efforts and ministries, including a residential drug and alcohol recovery program, a flourishing college-age ministry, and a one-on-one youth mentoring program.
What a ride! Despite all this we truly feel that in many ways we are still learning, growing, and getting started in what God would have us to be. We are looking forward to the future, with your support and with God as our guide.
