Church on the street of texas

Where faith meets the pavement.

“For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” — James 2:26 (NKJV)

Raw Faith.
Real Recovery.

We are a 3 to 6 month discipleship program built for the realities of the street. We cater specifically to individuals who are fighting battles with homelessness or addiction.

This isn't about pristine pews; it's about transformation in the trenches. We teach the Bible as a raw, unfiltered guide for life, offering truth and stability to those who have been marginalized.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” — Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV)

Our Core Values

“Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.” — Psalm 119:105 (NKJV)

01

Radical Inclusion

No matter where you've slept, what you've done, or what you've consumed. You belong here before you believe here. The streets judge; we welcome.

02

Authenticity

We strip away the religious facade. Come as you are—broken, angry, or desperate. We deal in truth, honesty, and unfiltered grace.

03

Spiritual Growth

Survival isn't enough. Through rigorous discipleship and Bible teaching, we equip individuals to rise, rebuild, and walk a new path.

Serving the Community

Faith without action is dead. Our discipleship extends beyond learning—it requires doing. We take what we learn and pour it back into the community that surrounds us.

“Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.” — James 1:27 (NKJV)
