Bethel Church UCC

About this church

Bethel Church United Church of Christ in Houston, Texas, worships Sundays at 10:30 a.m. both in person and on YouTube. The congregation now meets at a retreat center on Land Road near Highway 288 and Almeda-Genoa, after selling its previous building in the Heights. Services include hymns, spirituals, gospel, and Americana music. Before worship, coffee, tea, water, fruit, or a pastry are set out, and after the service there is sometimes a light lunch or a birthday celebration. Dress is casual or dressy, whichever feels comfortable.

Bethel is one of the older churches in the Houston Association of the United Church of Christ and traces its roots to the Evangelical and Reformed tradition. The grounds include gardens and waterfalls, and the website suggests visitors take a walk there after worship. A project called JourneyHTX uses the retreat space and welcomes hosting inquiries. The website also offers a prayer request form, an online pledge card, a newsletter, a blog, and a leadership page. Office hours are by appointment, with regular weekday hours listed in the fall through spring, so visitors are encouraged to confirm details on the website before a first visit.
