notes: On March 7, 1951, Faith City Ministries was started by Dick and Bee Hogan in a small rented building at 322 E. 4th Street in Amarillo, TX. From this small beginning, the Mission has grown into Faith City, Inc., which now includes not only Chapel services, but Faith City Family Lighthouse, Women’s Ministries, Children’s Ministries, emergency food boxes, clothing outreach, and the Hope Programs for Men and Women. The most significant characteristic of Faith City, Inc. is reflected in its name - Faith City. The venture was begun by faith and has been operated by faith ever since. As with all projects, it began with a vision. Their Programs include: 1. The Family Lighthouse The Family Lighthouse is a safe haven for homeless families and single women. It can accommodate a maximum of 72 guests in 16 rooms. Because of the constant need, we are currently expanding our existing shelter with a 4,000 square foot building with 15 rooms. Construction will be complete by June 2006. The Family Lighthouse was designed to comfortably house fifty persons but often has as many as seventy people under its roof. All meals are provided for the guests living in the Shelter and all guests are encouraged to attend one of our daily chapel services. There is a 30-day limit to stay in the Lighthouse, which can be extended to 45 days if the guest finds a job. Guests can return after 30 days, but are allowed only two visits per year. Mothers with small children or those who are ill may remain in the facility during the day; all others are required to be out of the Lighthouse between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on job searches.Children are a constant fixture at the Family Lighthouse; the halls are always ringing with the sounds of laughing, squealing kids. Faith City Ministries has an excellent working relationship with the Amarillo Independent School District. Children are enrolled in nearby schools or can be bussed to the school they attended before coming to the Lighthouse. 2. The Hope Program for Men and Women The Hope Program for Men and Women is the most effective faith based alcohol and drug recovery program in this area. Through a thorough application process and careful assessment, we also receive inmates that are released into this program by the TDCJ parole board. Many have found that this atmosphere of loving, biblical training has led to successful integration back into mainstream society. Hundreds of lives have been transformed since 1951. Faith-based and licensed chemical dependency counselor provides weekly counseling sessions. Each Hope Program participant receives training in Bible studies, computer skills, recovery, anger management, overcoming failure, temptation, practical life skills and more. 3. Food Services The Faith City Ministries cooking staff works hard every day. They perform a number of tasks, which include meal preparation, cooking and serving three meals a day. They also prepare emergency bags of groceries for those in need of food. This service is called The Food Box Ministry. Raymond Gonzales, Director of Food Services, oversees the Food Programs at Faith City Ministries. His duties include menu planning, inventory control, training, good public relationship with all food donors, and most of all a servant to all. Their biggest challenge is food donations. They welcome all food donations; however, the larger needs are donations of poultry, pork, beef, and dairy products. Faith City Ministries serves on average 325 to 340 meals per day. They welcome all who walk through the doors of Faith City Ministries. They feed all who are hungry. They give respect to all we feed. 4. Clothes Outreach Clothing Outreach is one of the larger ministries provided by Faith City Ministries. This ministry includes clothing for men, women and children, and the distribution of household items such as kitchen utensils, home furnishings, and furniture. The Clothing ministry is staffed by Dackery and Hope Watson, who strive to make sure all guests are provided with the necessities, and leave with the feeling that they are loved.
