A loving, open, kind community of people. It is so nice to find a congregation that practices what they preach — love for all, the inherent value and worth of all people, and justice for all persons.

I’ve only been here once. My wife and I visited last Sunday, and were met with some of the kindest, most welcoming people! The service was inspiring, the music was top notch, and the warmth was palpable. My wife and I are agnostic. We were just searching for community, and a place to openly develop our spiritual (for lack of a better word?) existence. We think this might be the place 😊 Am definitely coming back!

Have been attending here for years. Nicest people you will ever meet. Very laid back with great folk choir, art shows and more! The minister is super sweet, too. Highly recommend!

This is a place to find kindness and warm your heart. If you're looking for a church like environment that is accepting to other beliefs and faiths then this would be a great place to try. They have a folk choir and art shows, meditation and support groups. I cannot describe the depth of kindness from these people. I only visit once a month or so and I have not felt pressured to join, only acceptance and joy for being there

After serving as a pastor in a Presbyterian church for 31 years, I have found Northwoods to be a unique and fresh breath of air. It is a community where you can be just the person you understand yourself to be. And it is a community where you do not and should not check your brain at the door. We are all on our varied spiritual journeys. Join us if you want to have fun.

I've attended Northwoods for almost 12 years. I love the church and the community. Everyone is accepted and treated warmly. You can jump right in or go at your own pace. No pressure to come every Sunday, but people love to see new faces. The Religious Education for kids is wonderful. No matter what your religious beliefs or leanings all are welcome.

My parents joined this church in the mid 90s. Now as an adult and mother I have personally joined. When I was a teen, our Northwoods youth group went on a field trip to a Hindu temple in Pearland; I also remember having a visit to our UU church from the local Baha’i community. It’s nice to have a place that welcomes and explores alternate world views.
