Faith Connect

Uniting Churches for Suicide Prevention

Faith Connect is a monthly gathering of pastors, church leaders, and ministry teams across East Texas who are committed to preventing suicide, breaking stigma, and offering hope through the power of the Church.

Through open conversations, practical tools, and mutual encouragement, Faith Connect equips churches to become safe, life-giving spaces for those struggling with mental health challenges or suicide risk.

When We Meet

🕒 Faith Connect meets on the Third Thursday of each month at 3:00 PM (CST).
📍 Meetings are held virtually via Zoom, allowing church leaders across the region to attend easily and consistently.

Each gathering includes:
✅ A short faith-based devotional
✅ A focused suicide prevention spotlight
✅ A brief training or resource share
✅ Time for Q&A and prayer
✅ Opportunities to connect with other churches

Why It Matters

Suicide remains one of the leading causes of death in East Texas — and yet, many people suffering never walk through the doors of a counseling center. They walk into our churches.

Faith Connect exists to equip churches to respond well, with wisdom, compassion, and confidence. Together, we can save lives, restore hope, and be the hands and feet of Christ to those in crisis.
