On Easter Sunday, April 11, 2004, Gregg Matte accepted the call to serve and was announced as the new pastor of Houston's First.

Over the past two decades, Pastor Gregg has been a steadfast and devoted shepherd, driven by his unwavering faith and prayerful dedication to fulfilling the Great Commission. In both good times and trials, he has consistently encouraged the spiritual growth of our church family and connected with our community in a meaningful, relevant way. His compassionate leadership has inspired many to deepen their faith and serve others with love and kindness. Pastor Gregg has fostered a strong sense of unity and purpose within our congregation and moved this historic church to the cutting edge of ministry and missions.

Walk through the history and impact of Houston’s First since 2004!
