Who We Are

Kaleo Church is a new church in Houston, TX.  Started in a living room in late 2004, Kaleo is a growing community of people united around the Gospel (good news) of Jesus Christ.  We are young and old, professionals and students, stay-at-home moms and engineers, native Houstonians and brand-new residents.  In short, our hope is to be as diverse as our great city – brought together by the life-transforming power of Jesus Christ.

Our mission is to be a gospel movement that calls all people to intimacy with God in Christ, forms them into a new community with other believers, and empowers them to steward their influence with others for the sake of the Kingdom.

Intimacy with God

We dream of weekly worship gatherings where people of all ages and ethnicities will encounter God through language, music, art, and experiences that are an expression of who they are and who God is calling them to be.  We envision worship where Jesus and His glory are the central focus, not us and our desires.  While worship will be a vital part of our community’s life, it will not be the end all of our church.  Rather, it will be an expression of all of our community gathering together to celebrate as a church family.

We envision a church filled with people committed to living God-centered lives of worship, passionate about Jesus Christ and his glory.

Community with Believers

We see a church that is committed to faithfully living as a community of God’s people in the Houston area.  They will be more concerned with faithfully living out the Gospel as missionaries in their neighborhood, workplace, school, family and relationships than they are with building a religious organization.  They will understand that church is what they are, not an event that they go to on Sundays.

We see people of many races, ages, and backgrounds living life and seeking God together.  We dream of a day when hundreds of community groups meet together regularly throughout the city to pray, explore God’s Word, share a meal, celebrate and help their neighbors come to know the power of Jesus at work in their lives.

Influence with Others

We envision a church that furthers God’s kingdom by launching dozens of new churches across the Houston area that are passionate about God and his glory.

We dream of being a church community where people can discover the unique way God has created them, shaped them, and empowered them to live a life with meaning beyond themselves.  We see people learning to serve and reach out to those around them for the sake of the Gospel.

We see a church that is an active part of the community that surrounds it, actively seeking to serve the community rather than simply trying to attract the community to “come to our church”.   We foresee a day when the city and people of Houston will be deeply marked because of the presence of transformed men and women who are part of Kaleo Church.
