United City Church

At UNITED CITY CHURCH, we like to keep the main thing the main thing, and it’s Jesus.

We began in 1906 in Humble, Texas, in an abandoned feed store remodeled for use as a church. Under the leadership of J.J. Pipkin, the church was organized with eleven charter members at the corner of Main and Avenue C. This church building was the first and only church in a fast-growing oil field boomtown. The small building was shared by the Methodist church in town, so they alternated preaching. In 1955, it was replaced by a brick sanctuary and educational building. The congregation worshiped at this site until August 4, 1974, when they moved to a new multi-purpose building and a new, 8-acre site on South Houston Avenue, where the membership grew to 1,116 people.

Continually trying to meet the growing city’s needs, United City Church, formerly First Baptist of Humble, purchased 44 acres of land in 1999 and moved into Phase One of their building in 2003. A proud member of the Southern Baptist Convention, our current location at 1960 and Townsen Blvd. draws families from all areas of greater North Houston.
