Congregations
Keeping the Faith
Amazing Place is governed by 16 churches plus five At-large members from across the Houston area. Grounded in faith and connected by community, we welcome and serve all faiths and cultures. Spirituality is manifested in everything we do through kindness, respect and tolerance honoring all. We collaborate with congregations in a variety of ways.
FAITH CARE CONNECTION
Partnering to Help Those Living Alone and at Risk
27% of those with Dementia live alone. Our team partners with churches to identify congregants who might be at risk, and those caring for someone with cognitive changes. These individuals are then connected with needed resources and next-step advice to improve overall quality of life.
DEMENTIA TRAINING
Guiding Church Leaders
Faith leaders are often first responders in identifying and helping those with cognitive issues, and we are blessed to work with all religions in creating dementia-friendly congregant environments. We provide free presentations and trainings on dementia, how to recognize behaviors related to cognitive loss and ensure that small things like a friendly greeting or inviting lighting welcomes parishioners to their services.

CUSTOMIZED PARISHIONER PROGRAMS
Customizing for Your Congregation
We frequently partner with congregations and their Seniors ministry programs on customized programs related to dementia, memory preservation and the aging journey. These can be one-time initiatives or framed as a series to be offered in-person or virtually, or in English or Spanish.
