Christ is our hope.

We are a local church in the Houston Heights that exists to make and mature faithful followers of Jesus—for the good of our neighbors, the growth of His kingdom, and the glory of God.

The word “hope” in English typically expresses a desire for something good to happen; it carries an element of uncertainty. But in the Bible, hope is a confident expectation that something good will indeed happen—a future-oriented trust. Our hope as a church family is in Jesus Christ, our risen Savior and coming King. Our name reminds us that God has promised all who trust in His Son a future that is certain and precious because we will experience perfect fellowship with Him. “But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. ‘The LORD is my portion,’ says my soul, ‘therefore I will hope in him’” (Lam 3:21–24). If you would like to learn more about our community, please come join us for a Sunday service!

  • Summer Break from Classes

    During June and July all of our 9:00am Sunday morning classes will be on Summer Break. In August we will resume our adult, youth and elementary Sunday morning classes. Our Thursday Men’s & Women‘s studies are also currently on break - you can expect more information about these studies which will begin sometime in the fall.

  • Proposal for a Constitutional Amendment

    For two months, we are considering the following motion, presented by the elders in our June 7 members' meeting: “Resolved, to amend the first two sentences of Article 6, Section 5-C of our constitution to read: ‘Deacons shall be selected as follows: The elders shall present to the church in writing a list of nominees to the office of deacon. For a period of at least four weeks, the church shall consider whether such nominees are qualified for the office.’” We will vote to approve it at our August 2 Covenant Members’ meeting. For the current wording, use the link to see p. 11 of our Constitution.
