Founded in 1977
Kingwood Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) was founded in 1977 when a group of interested families responded to an ad in the local newspaper about the organization of a Disciples of Christ church in the Humble/Kingwood area. Thirty people gathered in the Forest Cove home of Frank and Joyce Coupal on Sunday, May 1, 1977, and Kingwood Christian Church was born. At the time, Kingwood was in its infancy, and the nearest Disciples of Christ congregation was 30 miles away. Services were first held in the Woodland Hills community room and then at Woodland Hills Elementary, where every chair, table, and hymnal had to be loaded and unloaded into a trailer for worship each Sunday. In 1983, our first building, a multi-purpose metal building was completed (now known as Fellowship Hall). Many of the original members are still an active part of the KWCC family today.
The Sanctuary Building
Completion of our current sanctuary on West Lake Houston Parkway was finished in 2001.
“We have a lot of people coming here because they’ve had bad experiences or no experience in church in the past. What you’re seeing here is what you’re getting. We truly mean everyone is welcome and everyone can take communion. That one statement of faith is it. There’s not a long list of requirements or statements of belief. We really will like you as you are.”

The Table Service
On October 7, 2018, Kingwood Christian Church followed God into a new chapter in our ongoing story. After over a year of prayer and planning, we created “The Table” service, a unique, authentic, and inclusive worshiping community. The Table is a fresh expression of our collective heart and calling to be an “open and inclusive faith community committed to learning and practicing the teachings of Jesus.” At Kingwood Christian Church, we follow in the footsteps of Jesus, where everyone is welcome, included, and celebrated as an image-bearer of God.
