The Center
“The Heart of the Matter”
Just inside our sanctuary red doors, is a place centered on restoration, a place bustling with connection, healing, belonging, hope, and love. Togetherness, truly.
We hate spoilers, one of our favorite things to experience is someone experiencing our place and our people for the first time. We aren’t your normal church. We are a group of people who have had a transformational encounter with Christ and are committed to our own healing while fostering opportunities for people to recover God, themselves, and others.
Our interface with the greater Tomball community is a welcoming coffee bar and cafe that boasts a 100% gluten free menu, the best coffee in town, and our signature cold press juices and wellness shots. What we are known for, however, is feeding anyone regardless of their ability to pay and inviting our customers into the joy of caring for others by paying meals forward.
We help people connect via our substance use recovery and spiritual direction groups, and try our best to be a hub where other local social services can give access to greater care.
We give presence and share hope.
A gathering place like ours is called a “third space,” a place you can pop in and get involved in meaningful, transformational conversations. We have witnessed spontaneous conversations happen between people on opposite sides of their economic status, political and/or religious affiliation. Our experience has taught us that each of us has something to offer and something to receive when it comes to how we come to a greater understanding of our unity in Christ.
We believe our work is to level the playing field, to blur lines between the ones who help and the ones being helped. To offer programs that uplift and dignify the downtrodden, and encourage one another in the work of wholeness, selfhood, relationships to one another, and conscious contact to God for individual and communal healing.
We hope you stop in and see us.
Join a Conversation Circle!
re:group is an open weekly recovery support circle dedicated to deepening our spiritual connection through the 12-steps of AA. We believe the insights gained from the recovery process are not only beneficial for those of us with outward addictions to substances, but for all of us with inward addictions, codependency, and all of our other coping mechanisms.
We are not only recovering from something, we are recovering something about ourselves that has been true from the beginning. Something we will only understand when we get honest, take a step back, and get a God’s eye view.

Starting July 14 at Main Street Crossing, 111 W Main Street, Tomball. Finding our way back to God, Self and Community. re:turn is a Sunday morning gathering of spiritual misfits, prodigals, outcasts, folks in addiction recovery, folks in church recovery—and even a few “normal” people! It’s a weekly invitation to be still and connect to God, yourself and others. It’s a space to discuss what it means to “get into action” and “follow Jesus in practical ways” through conversations centered on the teachings of Jesus, 12-step spirituality, and the mystery of Christ. The meeting format is made for participation. Among other things, we make time for check-ins, a topic introduction, group reflection, sharing “experience, strength and hope,” and taking communion together. You will have the opportunity to pick something up (i.e. inspiration, encouragement, enlightenment) and lay something down (i.e. shame, hopelessness, addiction). Our hope is that you leave with a sense of hope, peace and belonging that will help you face the week ahead. Welcome home.
