SOUTHEAST CHURCH OF CHRIST

What SOUTHEAST CHURCH OF CHRIST does

Southeast Church of Christ is a religious non-profit congregation in the Church of Christ tradition headquartered at 2400 West Bay Area Boulevard in Friendswood, Texas, serving the Houston metropolitan area. It operates two Sunday worship services (a traditional 8:30 a.m. service and a family-oriented 10:45 a.m. service), Wednesday Bible classes, and a comprehensive life-stage ministry covering adults, parents, women, men, tweens, teens, young adults, children, and preschoolers through small groups, retreats, camps, and intergenerational programming. The church employs 17 staff members alongside a 12-person governance board of elders, and is led by a Preaching and Spiritual Life Minister, an Executive Minister, and dedicated ministry staff for worship, family life, children, and youth.

The organization's revenue model rests on three streams: voluntary tithes and offerings, online giving through onrealm.org, and tuition from The Vine Preschool ($200/month per child, $180/month for additional siblings). Two wholly-owned auxiliary programs augment the core ministry: The Vine Preschool, a Christ-centered early-childhood education program for children 12 months through PreK/Kindergarten operating Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Healing Hearts Counseling Center, an on-site Christ-centered counseling service led by a licensed clinical social worker. The technology footprint is deliberately thin: live streaming via Vimeo, YouTube, and Facebook, an archived video library on Vimeo, and the Right Now Media content platform — all third-party consumer tools rather than proprietary infrastructure.

Southeast Church of Christ operates an extensive community outreach portfolio, supporting core partnerships with Feed My Starving Children (annual mobilepack event producing 100,000+ meals), Family Promise (quarterly hosting of homeless families on-site), Hope for Haiti's Children, Hope Active (backpack and Angel Tree drives), Mercy Tree (daily homeless feeding), Christian Helping Hands (food pantry), Meals on Wheels, Lifeline Chaplaincy, and Arms of Hope. It is a private, non-listed non-profit organization with no disclosed funding history, no AI/ML capabilities, no patents, and no acquisitions.

Broad incumbents

• Lakewood Church: Houston-based mega-church with extensive live-streaming infrastructure, multi-platform digital reach, and large-scale community outreach — comparable in streaming strategy and Houston footprint, though substantially larger and non-denominational.
• The Woodlands Church: Large non-denominational church in the Houston metropolitan area serving a similar suburban, family-oriented demographic — comparable in scale and life-stage ministry breadth, though outside the Church of Christ tradition.
• Prestonwood Baptist Church: Large Texas-based church with a multi-generational ministry model, preschool, and active community outreach comparable in breadth to Southeast — broader in scale and Baptist rather than Church of Christ, but representative of the family-services campus model.
• Second Baptist Church Houston: One of the largest congregations in the Houston metro with comprehensive children's, student, and family ministry programs — broader in scale and denomination but addresses the same family demographic in the same region.

Regional players

• Highland Church of Christ (Abilene, TX): Church of Christ congregation in West Texas with established family and student ministry programs — same denomination, comparable ministry portfolio, but serves a different regional market than the Houston Bay Area.
