Things To Know For In-Person Service
Our children and youth areas will continue to follow Houston ISD policies concerning health and safety. You can click here to see what the current policies are. While masking is no longer required for children, teachers will continue to be masked, and we will continue to keep distance between kids and use larger spaces to allow for better ventilation when possible. As the COVID-19 situation changes, we will continue to adapt our protocols as necessary.
For questions or concerns, please contact our head of Family Ministry, Kristen Jones, at [email protected].
Sunday School classes, Bible studies, and small groups are encouraged to return to meeting in-person on Sunday. Many groups are choosing to develop hybrid classes, with some members joining from home via Zoom, to make sure that everyone can still be a part of things safely. We ask that groups keep the safety of their members their highest priority, and respect the needs and difficulties of members who may have concerns.
Getting Connected
No matter where you watch our services, please join us on Facebook during the service to connect with other watchers and become a part of our expanding online community. It will be a place for discussion, prayer and support. If you have questions or concerns, there’ll be someone in the chat every Sunday available to help you, or to direct you to someone who can.
Where to Watch

Facebook: Every Sunday, many of our online congregants gather in community during the services. Even if you watch the service on a different platform, or stream it on your television, feel free to join the conversation each week.
YouTube: You can stream our services easily from our YouTube channel, which also has previous sermons, testimonies, and stories we’ve loved.

Getting the Broadcast on Your TV
Part of the advantage of modern times is that you can watch whatever you want, whenever you want, from your computer, tablet or phone. But sometimes you just want to watch a television broadcast on your actual television! Here’s how to make that happen.
Smart TV: Many newer TVs already have built-in capabilities for accessing YouTube and other streaming services. Log on to the YouTube app, pull up the church’s YouTube channel, and you can stream our services live right to your television.
