Leadership Staff

The Katy Christian Ministries Board of Directors announced late on May 19, 2026 that KyleStrickland will take the helm as its new executive director to lead the organization through its next phase of major growth. Strickland steps into this role at a pivotal moment as KCM actively pushes forward with historic expansion milestones.

He will oversee and champion the continuation of these vital initiatives, which include doubling the size of the Katy Food Center, significantly expanding the Crisis Center services, and deepening essential social services programs to support the growing community.

A proven leader in faith-based service, Strickland most recently served as a pastor and senior staff leader at First Colony Church of Christ in Sugar Land, driving organizational stewardship and vision for one of the region’s largest congregations. His deep impact also spans across state lines; in Memphis, Tennessee, Strickland successfully launched and spearheaded a major regional social services initiative, breaking through tough civic and economic barriers to expand crucial support networks alongside community partners.


Strickland’s heart for people extends directly into the classroom. For more than two decades, he has championed the next generation as an educator at Arkansas State University, Houston City College, and Houston Christian University. He holds degrees from Harding University and Arkansas State University.

“The entire KCM family is energized for this next chapter,” a KCM spokesperson said in the announcement. ”Kyle is ready to hit the ground running, collaborating closely with our churches, our business partners, and our incredible team of staff and volunteers to bring these expansion plans to fruition and deeply embed himself in the vibrant Katy community.”
