“Christianity is a verb” said Julie. Santa Fe Christian Church lives it out. Here we stand before a church with a big heart. It welcomes people from all walks of life. These people have various denominational backgrounds.
Santa Fe Christian Church serves Santa Fe. It also ministers to the people of Galveston and surrounding counties. The church is an independent congregation. Honorable men guide it. They serve as elders and trustees.
Pastor Greg Lackey is a key figure. He embodies patience and kindness. He listens with care. Members believe Pastor Greg loves and prays for everyone. He serves in many roles. He cleans and plays drums. He visits members and preaches. His sermons are biblical and applicable. He delivers them gently.
The elders exemplify Christian values. They are gentle and kind. They are patient men. They have supportive wives and admirable children. Bruce is organized and smart. His family is beautiful and intelligent. He is a Texas A&M fan. Gilbert is a deep thinker and a funny family man. Jack is smart with a great beard and kids. He works as a prosecutor. Randy is calm and steady. He serves whenever needed. Tom is compassionate and patriotic. He is loyal and sensitive. Vernon has dry humor and prays constantly. He is a devoted husband and father. He is also a car mechanic.
Music leadership rotates among members. The church is short on musicians. So they use backtracks. They want to add instruments. Currently, they work with what they have. The music includes both contemporary and traditional songs.
Santa Fe Christian Church supports missionaries. These missionaries are around the world. They support local ministries such as HIS Ministry food pantry. They also support Adria Women’s Health Texas City. International ministries include Love Botswana in Africa. They also support Reaching the Billions in China. Other ministries are World Wide Voice in the Wilderness in Cuba and US Prisons. Indigenous Ministries in Mexico and the US are supported too. Fellowship Russia and Faith Comes by Hearing worldwide receive support. The church asks for prayers for these ministries.
Santa Fe Christian Church isn’t just a building. It is a community actively living out their faith. They support each other. They reach out to those in need. They spread love locally and globally. This church demonstrates Christianity in action every day.
