The Church Campus

Bayou City Fellowship is one church with three local expressions at Spring Branch, Cypress and Tomball. We are seeking Lead Campus Pastors for our Cypress and Tomball congregations. As a church, we emphasize three things that guide our ministries: 1) a radical focus on Jesus, 2) serving the city and the world and 3) planting new churches.
