About

Cy-Fair Bible Study is a home gathering for people from different denominational backgrounds, who meet weekly to pray, worship, and learn from God’s Word together.  All are welcome!  Our goal is to have more than just fellowship – we want to be a real community, a place where people are involved in each other’s lives, know each other’s needs, pray for one another, and encourage one another.

We start our meetings fairly promptly at 7 pm on Sunday evenings, and usually end by 8 pm. Many of the members linger for a while after the meetings, enjoying snacks and having conversations.  The home where we meet is located at 9979 Burntfork St., Houston, TX 77064-5455. For more information, call 281-360-7244 or email us at info@cyfairbiblestudy.com.

Families with young children come, and the children actively participate in the meetings.  The songs and messages are designed to include the children in worship and learning from the Bible.

What do we believe? We hold to the classic truths of the Christian faith (including a belief in the Trinity, the Deity of Christ, Inerrancy of Scriptures, the importance of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, the imminent return of Christ, and active participation in the Body of Christ). Our focus is on fostering individual spiritual growth, learning to have God direct our lives, and working together as the Body of Christ.  On the other hand, we do not require or even expect agreement with these points from those who attend – we welcome people from any background or viewpoint in our meetings.  Those hosting and leading the meetings, however, share these common beliefs and faith.

What do we do in our meetings? We begin all our meetings with prayer, pleading for the Lord to renew the operation of the blood of Jesus in our lives and in our midst, because we recognize that Jesus’ blood is what gives us access to the throne of God, and is what makes our prayers and worship effective and powerful.  We sing a few songs together, usually a mix of classic hymns (“Amazing Grace,” “How Great Thou Art,” “Holy, Holy, Holy,” etc.) and contemporary praise songs (usually Psalms set to music).  Intermingled in this brief time of worship are periods of prayer, where we intercede for needs of the group members, for more of God’s love and revelation in our midst, for outreach efforts, and for needs of foreign missionaries and ministries in the developing world.  Then we spend about 25 or 30 minutes learning from the Bible, focusing on the spiritual meaning beyond the letters on the page, and how to apply the lessons in our lives.

We conclude the meeting at 8 pm (Sunday night is a school night) and then have a time of informal fellowship and food. There is also an opportunity during this time for people with urgent needs or a crisis in their lives to receive prayer privately with the leaders.  Many of the people who attend keep in touch with each other during the week to share prayer requests, to meet for coffee or lunch, and to encourage one another in their daily lives.
