Our story began in January 2024, when a group of 20 people came together with a shared dream: to pray about starting a new church in and for Northwest Houston. From the beginning, we felt called to be a church that’s more than just a Sunday service—a church where people can follow Jesus, love one another, and embody God’s mission every day of the week.
As we prayed and planned, our team began to love and serve our neighbors, bless our community, and partner with local schools. Along the way, God has blessed us with tremendous growth. What started as a small group has grown into a team of nearly 100 people who are united by a vision to make an impact in Northwest Houston.
We’re excited to step into this new chapter as we prepare to launch Story Church publicly on February 2nd, 2025.
Whether you’re looking for a community to belong to, a place to explore faith, or an opportunity to make a difference, we invite you to join us as we continue to write this story together.
Everyone has a story.
We would love for you to be a part of ours.
From the beginning, our vision has been to plant a church—not just to create a Sunday morning service. We believe the church is not defined by a building or a gathering but by a community of people on mission with God.
Our purpose is to cultivate a community of people following Jesus together—growing in faith, serving our neighbors, and embodying the way of Jesus in everyday life. That’s why we are dedicated to investing in the next generation, fostering genuine relationships through small groups, and making a meaningful impact in our community through acts of service.
At Story Church, we want everyone to experience the fullness of God’s greater story and find their unique place within it. Together, we’re building a space where people can encounter Jesus for the first time and where we’re all reminded of this profound truth:
No matter who you are or what you’ve done, your story is not over.
Our values reflect the kind of church God is shaping us to be. They aren’t just words for a wall—they’re meant to be lived out and experienced by everyone who encounters Story Church or calls it home.
A group of people who prioritize Jesus above all else by setting aside our personal passions, wants, and desires to seek Him together. Regardless of our differences, we are united in our devotion to Jesus and His teachings.
We follow Jesus’ model and teaching to put others before ourselves and to approach every situation with humble hearts. We will strive to cultivate humility in our words and actions, recognizing that it is the servants who are greatest in the Kingdom of God.
We believe that everyone has a unique and valuable story to tell. We embrace the stories that God has given us, recognizing their ability to create meaningful connections with those who have not yet found Jesus. Through sharing our own stories, we aim to reach others and invite them into God’s great story.
We care about the empty chair. We seek to reach those who are not yet a part of God’s great story. We are committed to meeting people where they are, hearing their stories, and sharing the love and transforming message of Jesus with them in ways that are life-changing.
We strive to be generous with our time, talents, and finances in order to serve others and advance God’s kingdom beyond ourselves. Our sacrificial generosity is directly connected to our trust of God’s ability to meet our own needs. We believe that God has entrusted us with resources and blessings to be used to bless others and advance His kingdom.

We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in our pursuit of living out our faith in boldness and passion.
We believe in the Trinity, which is the doctrine that God is one, existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The three persons of the Trinity are distinct and unified, co-existing in perfect harmony and working together to create and sustain the world. We recognize that since God is the Creator and the source of all life, He exists in three persons who are distinct yet united, understanding each other completely and working together to bring about His plans for humanity. We believe that the Trinity is an essential part of understanding God and His purpose for us. By embracing the Trinity, we can have a deeper relationship with the Lord and better understand His will for our lives.
We believe in the divine inspiration of the Bible, that it is the true and inspired word of God. We believe that the Bible is our standard for life, and its truth, integrity, and relevance is of utmost importance. The Bible is not just a book, but a living guide, full of God’s wisdom and guidance. Through scripture, we learn about God’s character, how to live and act, and how to grow in our spiritual journey. We believe that by reading and studying the Bible, we are able to draw closer to God and deepen our understanding of His love.
We believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He is the central figure of Christianity, the Word of God made flesh. Jesus was sent by God to be the ultimate sacrifice for our sins so that we could enjoy an eternal life with Him. Jesus’ teachings on love, forgiveness, humility, and repentance are at the core of our beliefs. We also believe in Jesus’ resurrection, that it was proof of His deity and the promise of eternal life for all those who believe. We are called to follow Jesus, to live lives of holiness, and to share the good news of the gospel. As we learn to love and serve others, we are reminded of Jesus’ example of love and sacrifice.
We believe in salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. We believe that Jesus was sent by God to save us and give us eternal life. Salvation is only possible through faith in Jesus and repentance of our sins. We understand that we are saved through grace and not by any works of our own. The Bible teaches us that no matter what mistakes we make, God’s love and grace are always available to us. We believe that through accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are able to have the assurance of salvation and the promise of eternal life with God.
We believe in the importance of baptism. Baptism symbolizes a believer's commitment to Jesus and His teachings, and is an outward act of confessing our faith in Him. We believe that baptism is essential to Christian discipleship, and it is a beautiful way to proclaim our allegiance to Jesus. Baptism is a sacred and meaningful experience, and we are deeply committed to helping believers celebrate this important milestone in their journey of faith. By celebrating and honoring baptism, we are proclaiming our faith in Jesus and our desire to serve Him and others.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, who is the third person of the Trinity. The Holy Spirit is the unifying power between God and humanity, and is the source of our comfort, guidance, and strength. The Holy Spirit helps us to understand and appreciate the Bible, and helps us to live out its teachings in our lives. We believe that the Holy Spirit is with us always, faithfully guiding us in our walk with God. We also believe that the Holy Spirit gives us gifts such as wisdom, knowledge, understanding, healing, miracles, tongues, and prophecy so that we can be used to serve God and spread His love.
We believe in the Christian doctrinal belief of The Church. We believe that the Church is a holy assembly of believers, united in faith and love. We strive to be a community of believers who are united in our faith in Jesus Christ and in our commitment to serve Him and His kingdom. We are committed to loving God and loving others, and to be known for our love for one another. We believe that the Church is a body of believers who are called to serve and to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to all people. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we seek to be faithful disciples of Jesus and to follow His teachings. We strive to live out our faith through loving actions and service to our community and the world.
We believe in the power of prayer, both individually and corporately, as an expression of faith in God's work in our lives. Prayer is an essential part of a Christian life and is used to talk to God and to communicate with Him. We pray for guidance, strength, healing, protection, and for our families, friends, and community. Through prayer, we seek to deepen our understanding of God's will and His plans for our lives. Praying helps us grow closer to God and to gain a better understanding of His will and how we can best serve Him. When we pray, we open ourselves up to God and He will answer us in His own way and in His own time. Prayer is a beautiful and powerful way to communicate with our Heavenly Father and to seek His love and guidance.
