Pastor Stevenson is the Pastor/Founder of The Fort Bend Church. The Fort Bend Church is a vision that God had tucked away in Pastor's Stevenson's heart to be released at "the appointed time". The appointed time proved to be the year 2004. After 10 years in ministry, Pastor Stevenson answered God's call to step out on faith and start a new ministry.

The Fort Bend Church opened its doors for the first worship service at the Sugar Land Middle School in Sugar Land , Texas on August 1, 2004 at 10:00 a.m. Over 600 individuals were in attendance. Since, that time over 1200 members have become a part of this phenomenal ministry.

Pastor Stevenson founded The Fort Bend Church on five pillars: trust, faith, kindness, compassion and liberal giving. It is because of the liberal spirits of the members of The Fort Bend Church that Pastor Stevenson led The Fort Bend Church successfully in purchasing 6.38 acres of land in Sugar Land , Texas after being in existence only 9 months.

As God continues to give Pastor Stevenson the unique vision for The Fort Bend Church, new ministries are being born on a monthly basis. The church's motto is, "Serving the total needs of God's people." Based on that motto, The Fort Bend Church currently has over 30 effective ministries for men, women and children.
