We are a unified family of churches in one location, made up of twelve congregations, from nations all over the world!
If you came to visit us on a Sunday morning, you might hear worship services going on throughout the building in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Swahili, Mandarin, and French.
You might see people walking to their service in traditional African wear and headdresses.
You might catch a whiff of Argentinian empanadas being cooked in the kitchen.
You might be greeted with a warm Latin hug and a sincere “Como estas?”
You might be invited to play a game of soccer after service and offered a delicious bowl of Feijoada, white rice, and plantains.
If you came on a Tuesday or Friday evening, you might see young adults from a variety of Latin American or African nations, gathered together in community that is passionately pursuing the Lord together.
If you came on a Friday night at midnight, you might find a group of Angolans praying fervently in an upper room, faithfully, for the last seven years.
If you came during a corporate prayer gathering, you might see all of these people, from all of these nations, speaking all of these languages, gathered together in one room, for one service, worshipping one Jesus.
You might not even speak the same language as the person worshipping beside you. But you would likely feel a strong sense of comradery and belonging—because that’s what it is to be a member of the Body of Christ. And we here at Kingdom City Houston have the incredible privilege to get to experience a foretaste of Revelation 7— “all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb”—every week.
Each congregation is led by their own pastors, and are a part of one larger family. We seek to be one purified bride for Christ that can represent the love of the Father, express the saving grace of Jesus, and walk under the power of the Holy Spirit in the city of Houston and abroad. We host large multi-church and multi-ethnic events and outreaches to build up the church body, impact the community, and to create lasting change in the city of Houston.
Partner with us to support local missions!
Kingdom City Houston is a family of immigrant congregations, diverse in language, nationality, culture, etc. Most of our congregations are young and are just beginning their ministry to a specific people group in Houston. The majority of the congregations of Kingdom City Houston are made up of hard-working first- or second- generation immigrants who send at least a portion of their financial income back to their home nations. KCH provides a variety of support (including facilities, administrative, operational, and technical) for a fraction of the cost that each congregation would pay elsewhere. It’s KCH’s goal to continue being able to do so, and to even increase the type of support offered, in order to continue undergirding and lifting each congregation up as we continue being the hands and feet of Jesus, reaching the people God has called each of us to reach.
The Need:
After birthing and growing Kingdom City Houston based on the vision of a few leaders, KCH has come to the place of recognizing that this ministry needs more financial support than what our individual congregations are able to collectively provide.
KCH experienced two significant operational expense increases this year that have strained what we are able to do on our own. Our insurance premiums, interest rates, and facilities maintenance have contributed to our monthly expenses increasing by an additional $15,000/month. In order to not have to pass on this financial burden to our missional churches, KCH is seeking to raise these funds through donors in the wider community who would like to partner with us to support local immigrant churches, reaching the nations, and revival in Houston!
OUR GOAL: $200K
This will support young, growing, immigrant churches in our community.
I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity.
John 17:22

El sueño de ver a Houston como “Ciudad deseada” y un centro de avivamiento para las naciones, fue iniciado en el año 2004, cuando Las Buenas Nuevas Covenant Church abrió sus puertas en la ciudad espacial. Celebramos la diversidad que nos caracteriza, con cerca de 20 países reunidos para adorar. La adoración es nuestra mayor expresión de amor por Dios. Perseguimos avivamiento y ser una iglesia saludable y misional. Una de nuestras prioridades es ayudar a nuestra comunidad, ciudad y nación a conectarse con el mensaje del Evangelio, por medio del discipulado intencional, la llenura de Espíritu Santo por medio de Jesucristo, nuestro salvador y obras de bien que manifiesten el amor de Dios por la gente.
The dream of seeing Houston as a "desired City" and a center of revival for nations, was initiated in 2004, when Las Buenas Nuevas Covenant Church opened its doors in the space city. We celebrate the diversity that characterizes us, with about 20 countries gathered to worship. Worship is our greatest expression of love for God. We pursue revival and to be a healthy and missional church. One of our priorities is to help our community, city and nation connect with the Gospel’s message, through intentional discipleship, the filling of the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ, our savior and works of good that show God's love for people.

We believe that God provides for every good work, and one way He does so is through the generosity of His people! And we have seen the fruit of the good work that God is doing in and through the congregations that make up Kingdom City Houston. We believe this is good soil. And, as the Scripture says that God gives seed to the sower (2 Corinthians 9:10), we pray God’s most abundant and gracious blessings back to you for your generosity!
