Welcome to Bear Creek United Methodist Church, Houston TX 77084

About Us

Bear Creek United Methodist Church is a congregation of Christian believers in the Southwest District of the Texas Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church. Dr. Burt Palmer is the current senior minister, and its previous senior ministers have included Rev. Dow Harleston, Rev. Randy Mullikin, Rev. Bob Long, Dr. Jack Albright, Dr. Pat Sparks, and Dr. Allison Cambre.

Originally established in 1977, Bear Creek was recognized as the fastest growing United Methodist congregation in the United States during the early 1980s. The Room to Grow program provided significant support for the congregation as the Holy Spirit moved in the hearts and lives of people within the community, and in the 1990s the congregation was able to return these blessings by becoming the largest Room to Grow contributor. With education, worship, and other facilities to support emergency relief and recreational activities, God has blessed this congregation and given it a mission to make disciples of Jesus Christ, and to be a beacon for Christ in the 21st century.

The office is open from 9am to 5pm Monday - Thursday, and 9am to 1pm on Friday.
