Quality of One
Before growing in numbers or programs, we seek to grow in Christ-like character. It starts with each of us.
- God-centered living
- United in Christ
- Live in community
- Outward looking
- Love all people
Rooted in faith. Growing together.
Many stories.
One family.
Together in Christ.
We are Fort Bend Community Church. Across languages and generations, we’re learning to follow Jesus, love our neighbors, and live out our faith together.
Our story
Small beginnings.
A shared calling.
Our story began with a step of faith—and a desire to share the love of Christ with the Fort Bend community.

Sent with a purpose
Houston Chinese Church sent 281 English- and Chinese-speaking Christians to plant Fort Bend Community Church. A new church family began.
Putting down roots
After gathering at several locations around Sugar Land, FBCC moved to its present Missouri City location—a home from which to serve our neighbors.
Growing as one family
Our church brings together Mandarin, Cantonese, and English speakers, with ministries for youth and children, small groups, and a mission that reaches locally and globally.
Our mission
Pursue the heart of God
by making disciples locally and globally to reach all people for Christ.

Read the original About FBCC pageThe Bible
The entire Holy Bible, consisting of sixty-six books, is the inspired Word of God and is without error in the original writings. It is perfect truth, unchangeable and is the divine and final authority for doctrine and deed.
One God, three persons
The one true God is the Creator and Lord of heaven and earth and of all things created, including humanity and is eternally self-existing in three persons - Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God - the Word incarnate - conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on the cross. On the third day, Jesus Christ rose from the dead, ascended into Heaven and is the only mediator between God and man.
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the Counselor to all believers. He convicts people of sin and leads them to repentance. He abides forever with believers, leads them into the truth, and sanctifies them.
Humanity & salvation
The human race was created according to the image of God, but the sin of the human race put people into a state of depravity and condemnation. Each person must be born again by the Holy Spirit through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ alone for salvation and for the forgiveness of sin.
The Church
The church universal is the body of Christ, who is its head. The church is the family of God, consisting of all born again Christians who are eligible for and encouraged for membership in the local church.
The return of Christ
On the last day, at the consummation of redemption, Christ will come again, personally and visibly to the earth, to judge the living and the dead; there will be a bodily resurrection of the dead, of the believers unto eternal life, and of the unbelievers unto condemnation.
Our vision
A little seed.
A blessing to many.
Jesus’ picture of a mustard seed reminds us: a healthy church begins with lives shaped by Christ, then grows outward to bless the world.
Blessing to Many
As those lives grow together, our church seeks to become a place of help and hope through five areas of ministry.
- Intercessor center
- Community center
- Education Center
- Family Center
- Mission Center
Inspired by the parable of the mustard seed · Matthew 13:31–32
Our values
What we believe.
How we live.
Faith takes shape in everyday life: in how we worship, serve, grow, and care for one another.
Worship
- We believe in expository preaching, which is “that method of proclaiming the Scriptures that takes as a minimum one paragraph of Biblical text and derives from that text both the shape and the content of the message itself.”
- We believe in music in worship. Music has the unique ability to express thoughts and feelings too deep for words.
- We believe in creativity. Audio-visual, audience participation, testimony, etc. can be effective means to communicate God’s truth.
- We believe in planning ahead to bring about a unified worship service with each part of the service adding to, not canceling, the worship theme.
Evangelism
- We believe in cross-cultural evangelism, both locally and in the mission field.
- We believe every Christian, not just a few, can do evangelism, if given proper tools and motivation. People want to share their faith, and evangelism is an integral part of Christian life.
- We believe evangelism is not taught, but caught. It begins with the leaders.
- We believe that any community services we may have serve as contact points to create a “fishing pond” for evangelism.
- We believe in follow-up work for new believers. Every new convert should be contacted within thirty-six hours and taught the basic foundation of Christian life.
Discipleship
- We believe in discipleship. People learn best in a mentoring relationship. God first, then people. People will apply the truth when they see it work in us. When people don’t apply the truth, they have not known the truth.
- We believe in accountability.
- We believe in the power of prayer. Prayer is one of the key ministries of the pastors and the leaders of the church.
- We believe in the power of the Holy Spirit, without which nothing of spiritual value can be accomplished.
Teamwork
- We believe in team work. A good team has the same vision, an effective strategy, clear job descriptions, proper accountability, timely evaluations and adjustments.
- We believe a team which prays together and plays together will also work together.
- We believe in people and think positively toward people. We believe that they want to grow and they want to serve. We believe in creating a positive environment for people to grow. People grow best with encouragement and positive reinforcement.
Family Ministry
- We believe that Family Ministry starts with husbands and wives. An intimate marriage relationship will produce healthy kids and build a strong church. The church needs to provide models, training, and a positive environment for marriage relationships to grow deeper and stronger.
- We believe that our youth need a vision to go beyond just being good kids and having good grades. They need a vision to live for God. We believe evangelism and discipleship are just as important in youth as in the adult ministry.
- We believe the church's role is to partner and help parents raise a generation of kids with unshakeable faith to withstand the world's pressures.
- We believe in a counseling ministry. We need trained professionals, not the pastors, to do long-term professional counseling especially in a family-oriented community. We believe that preventive family ministry is much more effective than crisis counseling.
Community Ministry
- We believe that our community is the Fort Bend County. This is our home on earth and Fort Bend is our backyard. We will seek to serve this community and bring them to Christ.
- We believe in meeting the needs of the Fort Bend community through prayer, community service and helping the family. The church is here to meet those needs.
