Are you ready to accept the challenge to protect your family from being pulled apart by non-stop technology. You will learn that the problem isn’t your smartphone; it’s how you choose to use it.
Kerry and his wife, Chris, founded Fellowship of The Woodlands, now Woodlands Church in 1993; and since then, the church has grown to 17,000 in average attendance each weekend. Woodlands Church is one church in many locations with its Fellowship campus in The Woodlands outside of Houston, Texas; a satellite campus in the Humble/Kingwood/Atascocita area; a satellite campus in the Tomball area, and its newest location in the Katy area. Future satellites are in the planning stages.
Kerry believes that church should be engaging and fun, calling it “The Best Hour of Your Week.” He strives to eliminate the barriers of boredom, unfriendliness and fear that keep people from experiencing not just religion but a relationship with Jesus Christ. His messages are relevant, and his illustrations memorable.
Chris is the Director of Missions and Women’s Ministry at Woodlands Church. Her missions’ work has touched thousands of under-resourced people locally and in numerous countries around the world. Her Women’s Ministry is one of the largest in the country providing fellowship, worship and Bible study opportunities to hundreds of women each week.
