Jason enjoys spending time with their 4 kids and watching them excel at what each one loves whether it is theatre, sports, pep squad, or dancing.

Stephanie loves spending time with their children, exercising, walking their dogs and just being outside. She describes herself as “a walking Hallmark card.” She will laugh with you and she will cry with you, but mostly, she will make you feel loved. Relationships are especially important to her and she values quality time with family and friends. Her passion is to encourage women to become Godly women, wives, moms, and friends.
OUR STORY
In January of 2014, with a growing student ministry at an incredible local church, Jason and Stephanie Robinson began to feel God speak to their hearts about planting a new life-giving church. They both sensed God beginning to place a new assignment in their hearts. Therefore, they met with their senior pastors for counsel and direction.
Their pastors recognized and supported God’s call for Jason and Stephanie to plant a new church. As they continued to serve as student ministry pastors at Church of the King in Mandeville, Louisiana, Jason and Stephanie trusted God’s perfect timing in planting the new church. With the full blessing of their pastor, they began to feel the timing was right to embark on this God-given assignment.
In January 2015, Jason and Stephanie attended an intensive training and screening process with the Association of Related Churches in Birmingham, Alabama, also known as the ARC. Since its inception in 2000, the ARC has helped to start hundreds of churches with a 94% success rate.
After a few visits to Texas, they knew that Katy was the place that they would call home. With a vision from God, the full support of their pastors, it was time to get moving! God was at work assembling His team. People from around the country and local people who had been praying for a church in Katy were sensing God calling them to join the team.
Finally, on January 17th, 2016, Church of the King was launched with 340 people in attendance.
Since that first Sunday at Beckendorff Junior High School we’ve experienced countless stories of lives changed, marriages restored, and people finding new life in Christ. In 2017 we went to two services and by the end of the year, we had already found a location for our permanent home where we broke ground in October 2019.
We are thrilled to see God do even greater things in the years to come! Securing our first permanent home will increase our ability to reach the city of Katy and ultimately enable us to launch multiple campuses throughout the greater Houston area. This is how we can REACH PEOPLE AND BUILD LIVES!
