About this church
St. Thomas the Apostle Episcopal Church is at 18300 Upper Bay Road in Houston and gathers for Sunday worship at 8:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Both services are livestreamed on YouTube. The 8:00 a.m. service is a spoken Holy Eucharist (Rite II) marked by quiet reflection and simplicity. The 10:30 a.m. service adds a choir and musicians. Worship follows the liturgical tradition of the Episcopal Church, grounded in Scripture, prayer, and the celebration of the Eucharist.
Children are treated as part of worship rather than set apart from it. A prayground at the front of the sanctuary gives young worshippers a place to color, play quietly, and stay close to the altar. During the 10:30 a.m. service, children through fifth grade are invited into Godly Play, a story-centered way of exploring Scripture. The ministries page lists an altar guild, acolytes, a bread guild, and Apollo Respite For All, a program for people living with dementia. Baptisms, weddings, and house blessings can be arranged through the clergy. The church office lists hours Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the phone number is (281) 333-2384.
