Houston’s First continues to look ahead with a spirit of anticipation about what God is going to do next through our church. He continues to move in the hearts of our church family to provide the funds to make our mission - to fulfill the Great Commission - possible, providing immeasurably more than all we had asked or imagined!

Whether you have tithed or made a financial contribution this calendar year or not, we invite you to prayerfully consider giving back to God with a year-end gift to support the ministries of Houston's First. Your generosity enables us to reach our community and beyond with the hope of Christ, accomplishing the endeavors He has called us to pursue. Together, we can step into the new year well-positioned to continue making an eternal impact for God’s Kingdom.

Gifts of Stock

The gifting of stock to the church is a “win-win” situation for both the donor and the church. Since the church is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, the gift will qualify as a charitable contribution and is tax deductible. This is a very simple and easy process that can be coordinated through the Financial Services office of the church.

If you would like to donate a gift of stock, or desire additional information, please contact Betsy Walker at Betsy.Walker@HoustonsFirst.org or 713.957.5806. On all tax questions, it is advisable to consult with a tax advisor or CPA.

Estate Planning

Estate planning may be the most important act of stewardship any of us will ever undertake. It is, at its core, the process of determining to whom we should transfer the stewardship of all that has been entrusted to us when we are called to step into eternity.
