I have been all over Texas but I have never heard or or been to Brazosport. It sounds like something you would go see at an arena somewhere!
WELCOME TO BRAZOSPORT! What kinda name is THAT?

It's the kind of name people in that area have lived with and been proud of for generations. The Brazosport area is a great place to live.

Pull up the UPCI's church locator website and search by ZIP code 77541 with distance preferences...

http://www.upci.com/churchlocator/se...ookieSupport=1

That's a start, although I'm not sure what your organization preferences are...

Hmmmm, Like I said before, I would drive to Houston and go to Lakewood! Get there early to get a seat because it only seats 18,000 and you don't want to have to go sit in the overflow!

Never been in an organization per se. I don't really get tied to an organization. As long as the local assembly is helping me in my walk with God and edifying, I'll most likely stay.

I believe most of our christian growth has to do with our daily walk with the Lord anyway. Fellowship is for edification of each other.

Those are my old stomping grounds around there.

I grew up around Clute, Lake Jackson, El Campo, West Columbia. That whole area is where we fellowshipped. District 10.

I've been gone from that area for over 20 years so I can't say anything about the condition of many of the churches around there now. We fellowshiped often with the young people in Clute & Lake Jackson.

I looked on the UPCI website to see what churches are around and I don't recognize any of the pastors from the old days. So... the churches in Clute & Lake Jackson used to be great people but that doesn't help me in any in letting you know how things go today.

There is a church in Brazoria. Brother Harold Williams. I know him well... grew up with his son... They are good people. The church would probably be a relatively small one if that is what you are looking for.

Now... West Columbia... I can tell you about that.

That's where my parents go to church. Danny Johnson is the pastor. He is a great pastor and I really like the WC church. Brother Johnson teaches at TBC or is administration there... or both.

But... of all of those choices West Columbia would be the farthest drive (about 15 miles or so)

Christian Tabernacle over in Angleton was always a good church back in the day as well.

Like I say... it's been a while. The only one I can suggest from recent experience is West Columbia and I state up front that this is because I haven't been to the others in decades and I am, admittedly, biased.

I know this hasn't been much help but let me know if there's anything else I can help you find out etc.

AB, not to sound judgmental or anything, but I personally would NOT attend Osteen's church. I have seen his program on TV,and I personally do NOT believe he is preaching truth. I know you like him and I mean no offense to you personally, that's just my opinion (which really doesn't count).

Well-said! Then, you have options aplenty...
