IN RESPONSE TO COVID-19:
Dear Members & Friends of St. Thomas,
We continue to monitor and respond to the novel Coronavirus/COVID-19, which has forced a new temporary way of life into our normal way of living. In response to requests and recommendations from government officials, we are enacting the following temporary measures:
-
Our Sunday morning worship service will be moved online at least through April 5th (Palm Sunday). To worship with us, you can go to the “Online Worship” section of our webpage. Services will be made available at 9am Every Sunday morning.
-
All scheduled activities on campus are now canceled or postponed until further notice.
-
Please contact pastors directly by phone or text for pastoral care needs or concerns.
-
The food pantry hours are now Thursday mornings only from 9am-12pm.
-
The church office will now only be open from 9am-2pm on Thursdays
-
Please continue to make your regular contributions online at http://www.stthomaspc.org/donate, or by mailing your tithe or offering to the church (14100 Memorial Drive, Houston, TX 77079).
In the gospel of Matthew, Christ reminds us that where two or three are gathered, he will be there also. While we cannot gather in person for the foreseeable future, we rest in the assurance that Christ’s love binds us together during this unusual and trying time. We are thankful for the flexibility and grace that is being extended by everyone.
Please join us in praying for those affected by this virus, those treating the ill, and those working towards a solution.
We look forward to the day when we can join together on campus in prayer, thanksgiving, and worship.
Grace & Peace,
Nora & Jonathan

ABOUT OUR CHURCH
Transformed by faith; transforming through service
God has a vision for St. Thomas Presbyterian Church – both as individuals and as a family of Christ. Long before we were born and before the first brick of this church was laid, God loved us, gifted us, and determined our purpose in this life.
St. Thomas Presbyterian Church is firmly united by the Gospel and founded on the Rock whom we know as Jesus Christ, the one and only son of God, our Father. We claim, as children of faith, salvation and eternal life through Christ’s sacrifice on the cross -- His free gift through the forgiveness of our sins.
In gratitude for this great gift, we are a congregation that has an outward servant focus based on a solid inward foundation.
WELCOME FROM
OUR PASTOR
Welcome to St. Thomas Presbyterian Church! We are a community of seekers and believers looking to grow in Christ and share His love with others. We all have different thoughts, ideas, and beliefs. We don’t have all the answers to life and that’s okay! The disciple Thomas, whom our church is named after, didn’t either. He doubted and yet became a missionary for Christ.
Come join us as we joyfully celebrate our faith in Christ and try to answer some of life’s challenging questions. Be welcomed with a heart of homecoming and showered with opportunities to grow in your faith through a variety of classes, services, and activities. We encourage you to be part of our journey as we long to be “transformed by faith; transforming through service.”
Blessings, Rev. Dr. Nora Fitch, Pastor
SERVICES
Worship service: Sundays at 11 a.m.
We gather weekly in a relaxed environment designed to incorporate all ages and our varied background. We celebrate the Lord’s Supper on the first Sunday of each month as well as at other times throughout the year.
We love to celebrate at St. Thomas! We celebrate :
- Back-to-school by blessing children and youth with their back packs;
- The pets in our families and community during an annual “blessing of the animals” service;
- Our middle and high school youth in May each year when they lead the service including writing the liturgy and sermon;
- Boy Scout Troop 1089, chartered by St. Thomas, on Scout Sunday;
- Our holy days and seasons, our veterans, and the lives of our members, friends, and families that have finished their journey here on earth and are rejoicing with our heavenly Father.
