The First Church has been a miracle in progress for the past 35 years. The church began in a person’s house who wished to have an assembly in this area which was balanced in pursuit of Spirit and in Truth. It quickly advanced to meeting at a local community center and found its first building in central Pearland. Several years ago, the First Church relocated to its present location.

The senior pastoral roles have been shared by Elroy Johnson, Barclay Barnett and presently, Ken Gurley. Together, these three ministries have spanned the church’s life in Pearland.

The First Church is apostolic in its method, meaning that it seeks to build individuals who will in turn build churches in other areas. Numerous churches have emerged at home and overseas from the First Church.

What We Believe:

First Church is a biblically-based church committed to presenting the Gospel in creative and compelling ways.

We are a church organized according to the first church founded in Jerusalem.

Vision:

Our vision is to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ by creating environments where people are encouraged and equipped to pursue intimacy with God, community with insiders, and influence with outsiders.
