Serving Southwest Houston

Cistern Church exists to Glorify God and make disciples by freely sharing the grace we’ve received.

We aim to be a community of faith that is centered on the Gospel of Jesus, unashamedly biblical, simple for the sake of generosity, and always journeying together. We do this by emulating the way of life of the earliest Christians & churches: gathering together regularly in homes & public places, studying the Word of God, praying, worshipping with songs, sharing meals & fellowship, and seeking to serve & love our neighbors.

For more information on what we believe, see our Beliefs page.

Sunday Gathering

The early church gathered on the Lord’s day expecting another encounter with the risen Christ. We gather the same way, expecting to get a glimpse of Jesus in our time spent together as the body of Christ.

Join Us

House Church

The early disciples met in each other’s houses to live life together. We meet to encourage each other in our spiritual walk, meeting each other’s needs, and enjoying time with one another.

Sunday Gathering

We have developed a relationship with Parker Elementary, a neighborhood school, by serving their staff, teachers and students. We have returned to worshipping indoors at Parker Elementary on Sundays, at 9:00 AM for kids and 10:00 AM for our weekly worship gathering.

House Church

Prayer, Bible Study, Breaking of Bread

A church is not a place or a building. It is the gathered people of God, and this smaller expression of the church is no less church than the Sunday gathering. This is where you can get to know others and be known. We meet in house churches to reach our neighbors and communities around us. We hope to multiply our House Church gatherings so that we have at least one within walking distance in every neighborhood along Brays Bayou!
