BELIEFS & BYLAWS

Guided by God's Word, Rooted in Faith

Our beliefs are anchored in Scripture and reflect our commitment to live out the Gospel with clarity, unity, and love. These convictions guide everything we do as a church family

In addition to our shared statement of faith, Houston’s First is also governed by bylaws. This guiding document outlines how our church organizes, makes decisions, and stewards responsibilities.


About our Church Bylaws

The bylaws serve as the framework for how Houston’s First functions as a church body. They describe the responsibilities of members, leaders, and committees, provide clarity in how decisions are made, and safeguard the biblical foundation of our ministry.
