Welcome Letter From Our Minister

Welcome! You have discovered an exceptional congregation.  Our church is a place where we worship, find inspiration, challenge and support to learn and live out deeply held values.  Our shared task is the creation of the beloved community, where all people matter, where there is reverence for life, awe for the grandeur of creation, deepening awareness of our oneness.

We hope you find our approach to faith refreshing.   We do not expect or attempt to achieve uniformity of theological belief.  We celebrate the diversity of ways that people come to faith, meaning and peace. 

Our tradition holds that revelation is continuous rather than something given to one group of people in antiquity.   We draw upon many sources for inspiration, including text from the world's religious traditions, literature, science and from each other.  We offer a path of spiritual deepening, nurtured and challenged by people joined together in covenant and good will.

We proclaim a life-affirming faith that lifts us to a greater awareness of who are and what we might become.  We welcome the joyous and those who are hurting or bereaved. We welcome those who are searching and questioning, those who value life-long learning, those who seek to live lives of justice and compassion. 

We are a young and growing congregation.  We are pleased to provide NW Houston with a sanctuary of liberal religion, a enriching, non-dogmatic religious environment.  We are dedicated to providing a welcoming environment to everyone regardless of race, sexual orientation or physical ability. Everyone who shares this spirit of community is welcome to join us.

If you're familiar with this congregation, we hope this website will provide resources to enrich your experience.  If you are new to us, we have attempted to provide everything you need as an introduction to the religious life of the congregation; it's vision, spirit, its people and activities.  Blessings on your journey!

Sincerely,
Rev. Phillip Schulman
