Extending the love of Christ
“As God has loved us, we will meet people on common ground and journey together to the higher ground of life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Southwest Central is the sponsoring congregation for Reggy Hiller’s missionary work.

Service Opportunities
Reach 2 Teach
On Wednesday afternoons, Southwest Central is home to Reach 2 Teach, a tutoring/mentoring opportunity inside our building. We offer personal tutoring to children of the neighborhood who need assistance with reading, homework, projects, subjects, and the like. As time goes on, so does trust and fellowship, a framework for relationship with people we cherish.
The Point
We are one of the supporting congregations of The Point, the University of Houston campus ministry. Once a semester, our congregation provides a Wednesday lunch for the students that are part of the organization. You can support our efforts by providing financial donations or helping to prepare lunches and desserts.
Impact Church of Christ Lunches
Once a year, we work together to provide over 200 lunches for the Impact Church of Christ ministry in Houston. These are served on Sunday afternoons after church. We take financial donations to purchase the food and then many of our Bible classes suspend class for the day to be part of the brown bag lunch assembly line.
Ciudad de Angeles
Several members of our congregation take a yearly mission trip to Ciudad de Angeles, a family-based orphanage in Cozumel. They spend a week there serving on physical building projects and community initiatives. Over time, they have developed personal relationships with some of the “angels” and remain connected, via letter writing and financial support, throughout the year. All skill sets are valuable and welcome on this project.
