About this church

University Christian Church in Houston is a congregation of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) located in the Third Ward at 3610 Southmore Boulevard. Sunday School begins at 8:45 a.m., and the Sunday morning worship service starts at 10:00 a.m. and runs a little over an hour. The style is blended, mixing traditional hymns with contemporary worship songs, and communion is celebrated every Sunday at the Lord's Table. A Prayer Vigil and Bible Study meets Wednesday evenings at 6:30 p.m. by conference call.

The church began in 1960 as a ministry connected to students and faculty of nearby Texas Southern University and the surrounding neighborhood. Ministries listed on the website include children, youth, young adults, Disciple Women, Disciple Men, a sanctuary choir, greeters, outreach and benevolence, and membership and evangelism. First-time visitors will find parking behind the building as well as on the street out front. Children stay with their parents during worship, and there is no dress code, with attire ranging from suits to jeans. Giving is voluntary, and guests are told they are not expected to participate in the offering.
