STATE OF THE CITY

2025 Recap & 2026 Save the Date

Thank you for joining us for the 2025 State of the City Breakfast: Uniting for Collective Impact!

Your presence, participation, and partnership remind us that we are better together.

Event Summary

Isolation and disconnection threaten our wellbeing; connection and collaboration are the pathway to individual and collective flourishing.

We flourish when churches, nonprofits, civic leaders, and the marketplace work together.The Body needs a backbone—and Houston Responds exists to build and strengthen that collaborative infrastructure citywide.

Thanks to your generosity, Houston Responds can continue building a whole-Gospel city movement for Houston—linking leaders, aligning efforts, and accelerating measurable impact on our city’s most critical needs.

Big thank you to Todd Stewart who spoke on servant leadership—business and faith working together so people and profits flourish. Register here for Todd’s Nov. 18th online launch of his new book, Delivering Hope: Leading Business that Builds the Kingdom of God.
