First Presbyterian Church of Houston, is affiliated with the Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians (ECO). This means that its theology is Reformed as expressed in the Essential Tenets and the Book of Confessions and its governance is Presbyterian – ruled by elders – as defined in the Polity and Discipline of ECO, all under the authority of Jesus Christ as revealed in the Holy Scriptures.
The ECO Essential Tenets and Confessions were adopted by the Session of First Presbyterian Church of Houston at its stated meeting on August 15, 2017. These Tenets and Confessions can be read in their entirety by clicking here.
We dedicate our hearts not to mere religion, but rather the good news of God, as revealed by the ministry of Jesus, in the power of the Holy Spirit.
We devote our minds to lifelong learning, digging into the depths of all that God seeks to reveal to us in His Word.
We strengthen our souls in committed community, because Jesus has joined us together as His people.
We extend our hands to welcome others to church in the same way we have been welcomed in God’s Spirit.
