Was blessed to be part of their remodel.
The lighting reflects their energy now.
Lots of new spaces to gather and share the word in fellowship.
Beautiful house of God and great place to take your kids.
They will be cared for, have fun and be taught the gospel.
This church preaches the whole Gospel, including going deeper in our growth as Christians, based solidlyon the Bible. The messages are challenging and inspiring. The worship is the best I've seen in any church. They have a ministry for every need and encourage personal involvement. I highly recommend!
This review has been a long time coming. Our family s first and only time experiencing what is called church hurt . We moved here from out of state in 2017 right before Hurricane Harvey and chose to attend this church due to us being impressed by the outreach effort that was made by the church to help the community. We threw ourselves in the church in hopes to meet our new church family. Our family was involved in a few different ministries, including small groups. We attended both the Harvest and Loft services. We were faithful attendees for six months. We left after six months feeling incredible pain, rejection and loneliness. No matter what ministry or small group we were engaged in, we felt as if we were looked past . It was as if we were there but not really. No one took the time to get to know our family or even us personally, not even in the small intimate groups settings, some at church and at people s homes. We felt as if we were just taking up their space. We did not feel welcome in any of the ministries at this church. And we were involved in several different ones. This church feels very elitist and is very non-diverse in terms in people of color and class. Many powerful people in The Woodlands attend this church so if you are one for social climbing this would be the church for you. I don t know if it was because we were the wrong color or didn t make enough money, but we definitely did not feel welcome here. Many of the first questions I was asked as a man was what do you do for a living upon first meeting me, and my wife was asked what does your husband do as if to gauge how much our monetary value was worth. We filled out a welcome card with our information and address on it and never received a welcome from the church but upon speaking to a wealthy business owner newcomer in a casual conversation while welcoming them to the area, they informed us that they had filled out the same card and received a call from the church welcoming them and the wife was taken out to lunch by a church welcoming member. It leads us to wonder why we were not given the same treatment. I could give plenty of examples of how awful we were treated but we have since forgiven of our experiences and have moved on. We are a multiracial couple with modest means who have a heart to serve Jesus and love others. That s what we thought we would find here at this church but what we found was the far opposite. I will give credit to The Loft services pastor Rob, who did seem to be a kind and decent human being. When we left our small groups not one person bothered to reach out to us despite having our contact numbers to check in on us. Like I said, it was like we never existed there. I pray that this church goes through a heart change and truly practices what it preaches . If you want to go to a church that values diversity, human hearts no matter what your income is and where you will feel welcome, check out Woodsedge Church. This is all our opinion on our experiences at this church. We understand others may have had better experiences and we praise God for that.
Absolutely love the fireside cafe! It s one of favorite places to go... Food is great.. The coffee is awesome and the atmosphere is even better. I highly recommend it.
I had a sad experience for the first time visiting this church. My family and i moved to this area few years ago and were looking for a Methodist Church near us. This church was the closest to us. My first Sunday here was very unwelcoming. To me and my husband it wasn't an issue because our purpose of going to church was
is to serve God and not espect anything from a human. But what breaks my heart is when we went home that day and our 9 years old told me in his own words " mommy can you believe that the whole time i was in the kids classroom no one talked to me?" he continues " enven when i try to interact, no one still talked to me. I want to go back to my old church. " He couldn't understand why both the kids and the teacher were unfriendly and unwelcoming to him. From my personal view point, i noticed that this church is not a multiracial place to be. If you are of color, it's not a place for you. My husband and i are bringing up our 3 children in a friendly way. Our 9 &6 years old know that color doesn't matter. We are all humans and should be friendly with one another.
My church and my home.
Lo, Sorensen and Swayze are my dear friends and love Jesus. They truly preach Gods Word and Shepperd in a way that I believe pleases The Holy Spirit.
Ed Rob, the Senior pastor is wonderful man and built this church by the power of Christ. He is retiring soon and turning over the reigns of Senior Pastor to Mark Sorensen.
I go to The Harvest. I am more of a nondenominational guy but I love Jesus and The Methodist church. I believe this church with its 3 different styles of worship (The Loft, Traditional and Harvest) could be right for any believer to attend, visit or join.
This is a phenomenal house of God. Everything about TWUMC has exceeded our expectations from our very first visit. Please come and see for yourself.
A beautiful church with beautiful people who serve the Lord.
We always enjoy the annual MLK Celebration there each January. Very comfortable facility, great parking, and it is right in The Woodlands close to other amenities in the community. Thanks to the Pastor and the church family for opening your doors in faith, community outreach and fellowship. May God Bless You All!
