We’re so excited to launch FLOURISH: A Mentoring Journey for the women of Houston’s First Baptist Church. Born out of Passion City Church, FLOURISH is a one-year commitment that connects women in a curriculum-based mentoring relationship to encourage and challenge one another in their walks with Jesus. FLOURISH calls women to a higher standard of living following the commands in Titus 2:3-5, a God-filled life for the sake of the gospel.
To learn more about FLOURISH, RSVP to our informational meeting Sunday, Sep 29th below.

Attendance at one of the meetings is highly encouraged for prospective mentors and mentees. Come learn about the upcoming 2020 FLOURISH Mentoring Year!  CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION


Men's Retreat CLICK HERE FOR INFORMATION
Retreat Speaker – Kenny Luck
Worship Leader – Ryan Langford

Ignite the Fire!

Wherever you are in your journey, the God of the universe is excited to help you take the next step. Join together with other men for an action-packed time of adventure, inspiration, and connection at the beautiful Pineywoods Retreat Center located in Woodlake, TX – about two hours north of Houston. This retreat is for men 18 years and older from any of our campuses – and guests, too.
The theme this year is “Ignite the Fire!” and we’ll unpack it together in three keynote sessions and some impactful Ignite Group sessions where men of all ages connect together.
Our retreat speaker for the weekend will be Kenny Luck, the Pastor at Crossline Church in Laguna Hills, CA.
The prayer is that every man will discover:
  • a refined vision for his life
  • a restored commitment to courageous living
  • a renewed connection with each other
  • a set of practical tools to journey ahead
