About Us
Welcome to Holy Covenant UMC!
Whether you attend worship, a mission project, enjoy the family activities or are part of our service projects… the heart of what we do is about you and your relationship with Jesus.
We are not a big fancy church that requires you to dress a certain way or sit in a certain seat. Just come and check us out. We want to get to know you and we want you to get to know us.
FAQs
Joining us for the first time? We would love to help answer some of your questions.
We understand it doesn’t take much for a church to seem like a stock photo.
The big, bright smiles and perfect people don’t seem to leave much room for life’s unexpected turns, busy schedules, and the challenges of getting your family from point A to point B.
Holy Covenant is not a stock photo of flawless families; we are never picture perfect. Instead, we are a community of imperfect people that gather together to seek God, love and serve our neighbors and grow as disciples of Jesus Christ.
We come from all walks of life:
From the recently born to those who weren’t born yesterday, young families just getting started to empty-nesters, people who have been in Katy for three weeks, and people who have been in Katy for three generations. We are people who grew up in church and people who came to faith later in life. We come from all different sorts of modern families, vote differently, learn differently, serve differently, and think differently.
But at the end of the day, our differences, our successes, our mistakes, and our life stories are not things to keep us apart or ignore and pretend that we are all the same. Holy Covenant is a place where we can bring our whole selves to worship, to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ, and to our ministries serving the people of Katy.
We would love for you to join us for worship on Sunday Mornings
We would love for you to join us in our ministries to the community.
But mostly, we would love for you to live life here, with us.
On Sunday mornings we have two times to choose from:
8:30 AM Classic Worship and 11:00 AM Blended Worship
But you can always come to our hckaty.org to live stream or to our youtube account and worship with us on demand.
There is not a nursery available for the early Classic Worship, but it does open at 9:30 AM for Fellowship groups and the 11:00 AM worship time.
You’ll find a variety of styles here, from jeans and button-downs to slacks, dresses, and even a few suits. The important thing is that you feel comfortable dressing in a way that fits you. We never want clothing to be a barrier that keeps anyone from visiting. Our focus is on your heart, not your wardrobe.
When you arrive at our campus on Morton Ranch Road, there is a LOT of parking to choose from! On the WEST side is the parking for the Education Building (E) and the Kitchen. On the NORTH side are guest spots and handicap parking in front of the Offices and Fellowship Building (F). And then on the East side is easy access to the Sanctuary (S) and a drop off point when it is raining.
There are handicap parking spaces available in all four parking lots. Additionally, we have brought most of our older buildings up to being ADA friendly, especially the recently remodeled Fellowship Building.
The entrance is conveniently located off the North parking lots in the front portion of the Fellowship Building, once you are through the lobby, signs will guide you to our safety-first education building. We have a professionally staffed nursery for ages birth to pre-k. Nursery is available starting at 9:30am on Sunday mornings through the end of the 11:00am worship.
Not at all!
However, we’d love the chance to get to know you better. Whether it’s just your name or your contact information, share what you’re comfortable with when you’re ready. Our welcome team is available in the Lobby outside the Sanctuary to help you connect.
Well, yes.
Our 8:30 AM worship is a Classic Worship Service, borrowing from more traditional worship elements. The intent is to provide liturgy, classic hymns, and a traditional style.
Our 11:00 AM worship service is a blended experience that combines the best of ancient traditions—such as hymns, creeds, and congregational prayers—with praise and worship music and contemporary elements. Depending on the season, we may emphasize one style more than another, but our goal is always to offer a worship experience that is meaningful and relevant to where you are in life right now.
The Classic Worship Service lasts about 45 minutes and is followed by an open breakfast for everyone in the Fellowship building, along with opportunities to join small group meetings.
The Blended Worship service typically lasts about an hour—sometimes a little less, and occasionally a few minutes longer.
More than anything, it means that we want you to come live life with us.
There will always be ups and downs, but having faith-full friends to walk on our journey with us is important. So, wherever you are in your faith journey, know you are invited.
If you would simply like to get in touch with someone directly and get started on your next step, all it takes it sending an email to say HELLO.
