A Letter from Bishop Richard Heard

by Richard Heard

We welcome you to our Christian Tabernacle web site. If you live in the Houston area, Geri and I want to invite you to visit our services and feel the fresh touch from the holy presence of God.

Our Church is designed to bless you!

Every time you worship with us, you are focusing on God. That can prepare you spiritually and emotionally for the week ahead. When you fellowship with other Christians, you are gaining support and encouragement for the difficult times that are sure to come.

Worship at C.T. is not merely an offering of praise or thanksgiving, but it’s that exciting moment when God’s Spirit actually connects with your spirit. It’s that certain feeling that lets you know that He cares about you. Individually. You are special to Him.

When you join a discipleship class to study God’s Word, you are positioning yourself to form new habits, change your behavior, and develop godly character. Would you like to discover your destiny and purpose in life? Let us show you how—and then equip you to use your spiritual gifts to minister to the unsaved and the hurting.

Become a member of our church family!

If you are not connected with another congregation of believers, we urge you to consider the benefits of becoming a member of our church family. You will have:

• helpers that teach youngsters the ways of the Lord (Proverbs 22:6)
• a spiritual family to love and encourage you (Galatians 6:1-2)
• a place to discover and use your gifts in ministry (1 Corinthians 12:4-27)
• the spiritual protection of godly leaders (Hebrews 13:17)
• the accountability needed to become a mature Christian (Ephesians 5:21).

Because you are special to God, you are special to us, too. We want you to visit our web site and our congregation often. If you don’t have a church family of your own, please consider becoming a member of this vibrant body of believers.

We pray God’s blessings upon you and your family.

- Bishop Richard and Geri Heard
