Ongoing Outreach Ministries
1. Sponsor A Child Program
"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress." [James 1:27]
Initiated in April 2017, we currently sponsor 78 children across six orphanages in India, including the Attappady St. Thomas Ashram and St. Gregorios Balagram. These children receive accommodation, food, and tuition for just $25/month. We invite you to make a lasting difference in an orphan's life.
2. Prison Ministry
"I was in prison and you came to visit me." [Matthew 25:36]
In coordination with the Orthodox Christian Prison Ministry (OCPM), we serve incarcerated individuals and their families. Our work includes the Annual Advent Party for children of inmates, providing spiritual and material support to those affected by incarceration.
3. St. Thomas Medical Mission
"I was sick and you looked after me." [Matthew 25:36]
Our Medical Mission provides health fairs for the underserved in Stafford and surrounding areas. Partnering with the IDC Charity Clinic, volunteer doctors provide screenings and medical advice, ensuring the less fortunate have access to essential healthcare guidance.
4. St. Thomas Food Ministry
"For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat..." [Matthew 25:35]
Our Biweekly Food Drive, coordinated with the Houston Food Bank, serves nearly 500 families. The Indian Orthodox Sunday School serves as the bedrock of our outreach, training our youth to witness Christ’s love through community service.
