Raymond and Gladys Haak were born and raised in South Texas . 
Raymond was born in Galveston , Texas and Gladys in Alvin , Texas . 

Raymond Haak is an Electrical Engineering graduate of the University of Houston .  Gladys has extensive training and experience in Accounting and business management.

Raymond began growing grapes in 1969 as a hobby.  He experimented with numerous grape varietals to determine which varieties would survive the climatic conditions along the Gulf Coast of Texas. 

After more than 25 years, Raymond & Gladys decided to turn their wine & grape growing passion into a commercial operation.  They planted 3 acres of winegrapes and a few years later designed and built a modern, Mediterranean style facility which reflects the winery's mission statement of offering "A Taste of the Old World in Galveston County ". 

The winery consists of over 11,000 square feet, including an 1800 sq. ft. cellar, which is used for storing & aging wines in Oak Barrels.

The winery is a destination winery and has grown into a major tourist attraction in Santa Fe , Texas and Galveston County

Crosspoint Fellowship Church in Pearland

If you are new to the Pearland, or even living there now without a home church, let me tell you about Crosspoint Fellowship Church off Old Alvin Road. Yes, this is my church and I am a bit biased! You won't find a nicer group of people. All ages, married, singles, lots of children and youth from the nursery to high school. Tons of lifegroups that will connect you into a network of support and friendships. Today, I served with other church members for our monthy visits to a senior nursing home. Each month we go for birthday celebrations and bring gifts, cake and music.......Funny I should say music because our church is known for music. If you like contemporary Christian music, then you have found the right place.Tom Allen, our pastor offers contemporary sermons and he is not afraid to tell us the truth and to speak the word of God from the Bible.

This is our story  in a nutshell:

In 1996, Tom Allen, his wife Susan, and their four children moved to Pearland, TX. Shortly after the move, two things happened: They fell in love with Pearland and became immersed in its life and its people, and, Tom began to experience some challenging health concerns. Although these two things seemed totally unrelated, they were intricately intertwined in God's plan.

In late 1998, during a time that Tom had taken off to recuperate and spend time with God, God challenged him with his greatest test of faith. While he had his undivided attention, He asked Tom to leave his "safety zone" and plant a new church in Pearland.

In May of 1999, Crosspoint Fellowship held its first worship service at Sablatura Middle School. Many thought they would immediately build a building and didn't realize how much work a church plant would be. Every week during those three years they faithfully loaded and unloaded a Ryder truck with everything it takes to have a worship service. During those years, they changed locations four times before finally finding and purchasing 15 acres of land that they now call our home. The first service in their new building was on April 28, 2002.

Since that time, Crosspoint Fellowship has become a church that sees approximately 500 people gather each week to worship. God has given them an exciting history, and they believe He has only begun to show them the great things He has in store for their future.

I INVITE YOU TO MY CHURCH. CONTACT ME AND I WILL WAIT FOR YOU IN THE PARKING LOT SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WALK IN ALONE. Crosspoint does not even pass an offering plate around. I hope to see you there.

In 2007, Forbes Magazine ranked Pearland as the 34th fastest growing suburb in the nation. It is therefore the fastest growing suburb in the Greater Houston area, and the 10th fastest growing in the state of Texas.

I remember when Broadway was a two lane road growing up in Pearland. It has changed so much.

Pearland had its humble beginnings near a siding switch on the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway in 1882. When a post office was established in 1893, the community was originally named Mark Belt. The name was changed to Pearland in November of that year because of the abundance of pear trees in the community.

Pearland was promoted by some developers as an "agricultural Eden." The Galveston hurricane of 1900 destroyed most of the fruit trees and slowed growth for a considerable period of time, as well as desertificated the area. In 1914, with agriculture rebounding and the end of desertification, Pearland had a population of 400, but a devastating freeze in 1918 was another setback to the local farming enterprises.

Oil was discovered nearby in 1934, though this did not spur a large amount of growth, as the population fluctuated from 150 and 350. From the 1960's the town has grown steadily to today's population.

Today even though officially a suburb, the town is culturally rural.
