South Union Missionary Baptist Church

About this church

South Union Missionary Baptist Church holds Sunday worship at 10 a.m. at 3550 Lydia Street in Houston, with a different 8:30 a.m. start on fifth Sundays. The official site also lists Bible study and young-adult Bible study at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the main campus. Online Bible study is carried on Facebook and YouTube when scheduled. Because the fifth-Sunday exception changes the normal hour several times a year, visitors should check the live weekly calendar before traveling on those dates.

Known as “The Union,” the congregation presents itself as a place of hope, restoration, and authentic connection for people from varied backgrounds. Its stated responsibility is to present Jesus Christ with dignity and enthusiasm through worship, teaching, gratitude, and service. Youth ministry helps children and teenagers identify their gifts, purpose, and worth while training parents, leaders, and young people to use their abilities in ministry. Deacons share pastoral care, worship, fellowship, witness, and responsibility for members’ welfare. The church began in February 1948 when eight people organized in a home on Lydia Street; its first public service followed three days later, and the congregation purchased the present site that same year. That history gives the current campus a direct link to South Union’s earliest neighborhood ministry. First-time guests can use Sunday worship as the primary entry point and the Tuesday studies for more focused learning.
