Howdy!

I'm starting a new job in West Houston (energy corridor) at the end of July, and my wife and I are looking for a new church to call home. We're non-denominational, and would like to find a mid-sized church that's well established, but not so large that it's lost the sense of community. We're especially going to miss our pastor in Aggieland and his combination of insight, oratory skill, and sense of humor, so a great pastor is a must for us!

Thank you in advance, and God bless!

Have you talked to your pastor about it?

My family really enjoys Kingsland Baptist. I think it fits all of your criteria.

Bridgepoint Bible Church is one to check out. We go to First Baptist but all of our kids have gone through Pre-K at Bridgepoint & it's a great community.

You should check out Bethel Church of Houston. We fit the description of what you are looking for. We are located in the Galleria area, but a lot of our families live in the West Houston area. We just got a new pastor, and are growing.

Depends on how far West you are but plenty of people drive in to Grace Bible, just inside the loop. Not related to GBC in CS, not not much creativity in naming churches.

There are a lot of good options and most have been mentioned. I've also heard good things about Christ Community Church and Hope City.

The answer will depend on whether your house is zoned to Stratford or Memorial.

Only East of Beltway 8 and south of I-10. West of BW8 is practically the Tine Bible Belt. Aside from a few deviant pockets. I am hoping they are not moving to Wilchester or Gaywood. Everything else is great.

I was guessing from the username that pop-culture non-denominational protestantism isn't what OP is looking for.

But I was wrong.

How do you feel about snake handling? (Most of which were captured from the Kingwood area.)

There's not a church west of BW8 that anyone gives a **** about, unless you Korean or non-denom. The #'s of folks I know that live west of BW8 STILL drive in to go to 1st or 2nd Baptist, Chapelwood United Methodist, St. Cecilia, Grace or MDPC, Tallowood Baptist, Holy Spirit Episcopal, Pines Presby, Eccelsia, Chinese Baptist, etc., etc.

Yep solid established places of worship that people will flock to from the 079 to the outer west burbs. But the 024 is noticeably under represented at all of these places. Memorial peeps generally hit up either St Martins or synagogue for religious holidays only. Don't get me wrong, there are SOME good Christians and Jews and other in the 024 but most are fakin the funk.

This. West Houston is from the beltway to San Antonio. Pretty broad area.

Super, the anecdotal "I know a few people so it must be true" line. What a dumb statement.

Probably too far out, but I cannot recommend Parkway Fellowship enough.

I would have expected better responses to a serious question regarding a good church home. Sorry OP. I'm not familiar with that part of Houston as far a churches but good luck! God bless!
