Where doubts are welcomed
alongside faith
Welcome to
St. John's Presbyterian Church in Houston!
A Christian community serving Southwest Houston Since 1956
Here in southwest Houston's Westbury neighborhood, we're building something different. Not a church of programs and entertainment, but a congregation where you can actually be known. Where your name matters. Where your story becomes woven into our shared life together.
We're sincere believers following Jesus without the frills or fanfare. Our mission is simple: glorify God by making disciples and meeting human needs. That means worship that feeds your soul, relationships that extend beyond Sunday morning, and service that creates visible change in Houston and around the world.
We warmly invite you to join us this Sunday at 11 AM. Experience our excellent music ministry, hear sermons that connect Scripture to everyday life, and discover what Christian fellowship looks like when it's built over years, not weeks.
"St. John's Presbyterian is where sincere believers in southwest Houston gather to worship and serve Jesus Christ without the frills or fanfare." –Pastor Jon
A Church With Houston's Heart
Find meaning and understanding in a church with a heart as big as Houston.
We're a kaleidoscope of backgrounds, politics, beliefs, and stories, joining forces in faith and friendship. What unites us? A commitment to authentic relationships over religious performance, and to serving our neighbors near and far.
From our community garden that feeds Houston families to small group ministry, we believe faith should produce tangible results. Here, love isn't just our language. It's our action.

We'd Love to See You!
You can join us for in-person worship every Sunday at 11:00 AM. We'd love to have you.
We're located in the heart of southwest Houston's Westbury area, just minutes from Meyerland, Bellaire, and the Medical Center. You'll find us on West Bellfort between Hillcroft and Fondren. Look for the church with the community garden out back (you can't miss those giant sunflowers in season).
The map on the right shows our exact location.
Parking is easy and plentiful. When you arrive, someone will greet you at the door. No need to dress up or know what to do. Just come as you are. We'll make sure you feel welcome, not overwhelmed.
First-time visitors often tell us they're surprised by how quickly they feel at home. That's because we're serious about hospitality. In a city as sprawling as Houston, we work intentionally to keep our congregation a place where everyone is recognized and remembered.
