We love social media for finding about different things going on in education, in Houston, and how churches are serving their communities. We would love someone to help us search for relevant content on Twitter, NPR, or even the local news - and then packaging it to retweet/repost on Facebook and Twitter. We're also working with some writers to capture church-school partnership stories and would love to post them on Instagram.
Loving Houston is mobilizing and equipping churches to serve local schools in whatever capacity is needed. If you're passionate about inspiring and equipping churches to serve, and/or passionate about helping ensure that kids across Greater Houston have opportunities to flourish, let us know! We'd love to see how your skills can help us achieve this vision of a city transformed by a loving Church!

Mission Statement
Advancing community transformation in Greater Houston by helping churches serve local schools.
Description
Houston is one of the most economically vibrant cities in the world today. Despite the cyclical nature of the energy industry, Houston remains one of the best places to live and work. We love Houston!
Unfortunately, income inequality is still an issue. Consider these simple facts:
- 1 in 4 Houstonians (1 in 3 children) live in poverty.
- 1 in 5 Houston households (1 in 4 households with children) are food insecure and must turn to others for help to feed their families.
- A low-income child in Houston has only a 6% chance of graduating from college; in some area high schools, 50% of students drop out.
This doesn’t bode well for Houston’s future. With so many government agencies and nonprofit organizations in Houston, it’s easy to think that others will attend to these needs -- that "anyone but me" can take care of the hunger, poverty, joblessness, and illiteracy that exist in every neighborhood. Yet these needs persist. With thousands of Houstonians living in poverty and struggling to meet basic needs, the Church in Houston must step up.
If our kids succeed in school, so many social and economic issues can be reversed over time.
This is why we’re focusing first on our local schools. We're casting vision for church-school partnerships and helping churches get started!
