In the early 1980’s, Katy area churches struggled to meet the changing needs of a rapidly growing population. With the downturn in the Houston economy, members of the Katy Ministerial Alliance realized that Katy churches were increasingly being asked by long time residents as well as newcomers to provide food and emergency financial resources. First United Methodist Church of Katy housed a food pantry in the church basement, and St. Bartholomew Catholic Church opened a thrift store at Avenue D and 4th Street. It was decided a unified effort would offer a more effective use of their resources, and on June 25, 1984, nine interdenominational churches incorporated as Katy Christian Ministries. Currently, KCM has 35 Coalition Churches.

In 1994 land was donated to KCM for a new operational facility. Hope for the future became a reality on February 26, 2003, when KCM had a ground breaking for their new facility. On August 14, 2004, KCM took occupancy at 5011 E. Fifth St., Katy TX 77493. The building houses Administration, Social Services, Food Pantry, Domestic Abuse Center, and Sexual Abuse Center. The facility benefits clients in the Katy/West Houston area, by providing all services in one location. The service area covered by KCM reaches into three counties, Harris, Fort Bend and Waller.

KCM has two Resale Stores, located at 5510 First St., Katy TX 77493 and 510-K S. Mason Rd., Katy TX 77450. KCM also has a Donation Center at 5012 E. Third St., Katy TX 77493. The proceeds from our stores help fund our programs.

We rely on area churches, local businesses, corporations and individuals for support. There are many opportunities to get involved and to help us fulfill our mission:

“Making a difference in the lives of others through the God’s grace and the goodwill of the community.”
