Krist Samaritan Center marks 25 years of service

The Krist Samaritan Center is currently celebrating 25 years of service to the Greater Houston-Galveston community.

The Center opened its doors in 1986 and was sponsored by three Clear Lake churches that wanted to begin a faith-based counseling center. Today, the Center has more than 70 supporting churches and more than 20 office locations throughout the Greater Houston-Galveston area.

With more recent additions such as MindWorks Testing, a psychological testing program, the Center remains on the cutting-edge of the mental health field. It provides affordable counseling services and educational programs to people of all economic backgrounds, as well as training for church and mental health professionals.

“We are extremely proud to celebrate such a meaningful anniversary in 2011,” said Executive Director of Krist Samaritan Center Dr. Gerald DeSobe. “Our 25 years of service is a great testament not only to the amazing support we’ve received from donors, but to the high-quality care given by our clinical staff. It is only through our team's steadfast dedication that we're able to further our mission of touching lives and healing hearts.”

In honor of its 25 years, Krist Samaritan Center is unveiling an anniversary logo. The logo symbolizes the Center's plans for the future as well as the advancements it has made in the counseling field over the past 25 years.
