UNION VISION FILM
It was a life-giving church that changed the way I saw church and helped restore my relationship with Jesus. It was a life-giving church that empowered me to be a leader and a pastor.

Rod and Sara opened up their home on Tuesday nights where friends and family started to gather and grew into a community. Out of this community a group of families connected with the dream to bring about life-change to Houston. On September 11th, 2016 UNION Houston opened it’s doors and resources for weekly Sunday Experiences and small groups for hundreds of Houstonians .
Our Response to Racism
As the Church, let us be advocates for justice (Isaiah 1:17). Let us be advocates for love. Let us be advocates for unity. As the Apostle Paul mentions, let us as followers of Jesus, be ministers of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:19), showing how Jesus has torn down the dividing walls of hostility, even the wall of racism.
