PASTOR KERRY AND CHRIS
Kerry and his wife, Chris, founded Fellowship of The Woodlands, now Woodlands Church, in 1993. Kerry Shook is one of today’s most gifted communicators offering a clear, contemporary and creative teaching style.
OUR VISION
When Woodlands Church was founded in 1993, Pastor Kerry Shook had a vision for a church that is driven by God’s vision to be bold and innovative to do whatever it takes to reach The Woodlands and surrounding areas for Christ.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to help people experience Christ rather than man’s creation of religion, so they can grow strong in Christ and take the Christ experience to the world.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Woodlands Church holds strongly to certain beliefs about the Bible, God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, salvation, and the Church.
WHAT WE PRACTICE
Beliefs are not worth much unless they are translated into actions. Based on what the Bible teaches, we feel very strongly about the following seven practices: Bible as sole authority, autonomy of each local church, priesthood of every believer, tithing, baptism by immersion, Spirit-led living, and telling others about Christ.
WORSHIP EXPERIENCES
Woodlands Church believes that church should be engaging and fun, calling it “The Best Hour of Your Week”. We strive to eliminate the barriers of boredom, unfriendliness and fear that keep people from experiencing a relationship with Jesus Christ. Pastor Kerry’s messages are relevant and his illustrations memorable.
Testimonials
If you are looking for a new Church home then let me suggest visiting The Woodlands Church. We have three campus': The Woodlands, Atascosita, and Tomball. It's a wonderful place to worship, learn and serve alongside Christian Brothers and Sisters. I serve in the Children's Ministry, Host a Women's small group, attend a Family Small Group, and have a teen that's involved in the Student Ministry. There are wonderful opportunities to be connected to other Christians with a passion to worship and serve Jesus Christ.
As a new couple, three years ago, we looked at many churches to find where we felt we belonged. At that time, we had a foundation of faith but had been out of church for quite a while. We both struggled with relationship issues and a hurtful past. Neither one of us was where we wanted to be with God and wasn't completely sure how to get there. The very first time we visited The Woodland's Church, I knew I'd found my church home and became a member. Since, Pastor Kerry has helped to guide us back to a closer relationship with Christ and even though no one is perfect, we have learned to communicate with each other in a way that has enhanced our marriage to a closeness which grows each day and we work daily to be the way Christ wants us to be not just in our relationship, but all aspects of life. I volunteer with the Small World and get so much enjoyment from the kiddos there. What a blessing to have this church family! This church has so much teaching for everyone with a sense of humor mixed in. We just love The Woodland's Church!
Woodland's Church Atascocita Campus has been such a blessing for me and my family. They are very quick to get people plugged in if they desire to do more than just attend. Seem to find creative ways that pull in the surrounding community. And, they have always been very welcoming to new believers, both at the main and Atascocita campus. Lastly, I am very excited about the newly announced seminary. I hope that some of the classes will be offered at both locations, and that I will have time to go.
May God continue to bless my churches Leadership with Wisdom and discernment. To stay on course, and not be tossed about by every wind of doctrine. Eph 4:14
