About Us

Since 1983, WCC has been a vital part of our community, serving families in all stages of life. Over the years, we've hosted Boy Scout troops with several of our men leading as Scout Masters, sponsored a prison ministry, and facilitated a Homeschool Co-op. We have been a place that supports single parents as they raise their children, partnered with pregnancy care organizations, and supported missionaries. We have served as a poling place, founded a vital Spanish ministry, and hosted the Mexican Consulate to provide services locally. We strive to reflect Jesus to our community.

Today, WCC continues to impact our community in many ways. This includes Rally Point ministries that serves the needs of veterans and others in our community who find themselves knocked down but not out. We also help to sponsor Love Foster's Hope, a ministry to area foster children by providing summer camp and other resources. Our facility also continues to serve as a meeting space for local HOA's and a quilting group, and will soon host our first ever free summer dance camp. Though our Spansih speaking congregation no longer meets in our facilities, we continue to offer onsite ministry to those who speak Spanish and are opening a new Bible study soon in a local apartment complex. We are excited as we anticipate what God has in store for us next.

We do all that we do because of our love for God and our love for people. We believe God is not only real but that He is good and worthy and beautiful to be praised. We also believe we are not only called but are obliged with every good reason to share the best news ever to fall on human ears with our community and our world: "That Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners, of whom [we] are the foremost."

So whether you're new to the area or just browsing because you felt like it, we want you to know that God is drawing you to Himself even now. The great thing about following that call is that you eventually begin to encounter others who have heard the same Voice. That's who we are, a family of believers following the call of Jesus even while encouraging, inspiring and doing life with one another, Because the Journey Matters!

The mission of the Woodlands Community Church of the Nazarene is to make Christlike disciples in the nations.

We are a Great Commission church. As a global community of faith, we are commissioned to take the Good News of life in Jesus Christ to people everywhere and to spread the message of scriptural holiness across the lands.

The Woodlands Community Church of the Nazarene bonds together individuals who have made Jesus Christ Lord of their lives, sharing in Christian fellowship, and seeking to strengthen each other in faith development through worship, preaching, training, and service to others.

We strive to express the compassion of Jesus Christ to all persons along with our personal commitment to Christlike living. While the primary motive of the church is to glorify God, we also are called to actively participate in His mission — reconciling the world to himself.

The statement of mission contains historical essentials of our mission: Evangelism, Sanctification, Discipleship, Compassion. The essence of holiness is Christlikeness. Nazarenes are becoming a sent people-into homes, work places, communities, and villages as well as other cities and countries. Missionaries are now sent from all regions of the world. God continues calling ordinary people to do extraordinary things made possible by the person of the Holy Spirit.

Pastor Mark Eby served as a pastor for 26 years in Tennessee, Florida, Alabama, and North Carolina before he and his wife Tammy became missionaries in the Church of the Nazarene in 2017 serving in Indonesia and in Tonga. In September of 2021, Pastor Mark joined the Woodlands Community Church as Senior Pastor.

Pastor Mark leads with a passion for God, people who are lost and hurting, and young people in general. His hobbies include running, rock climbing, gardening, and most outdoor activities, and has recently taken up disk golf, ultimate frisbee, and hanging out at Starbucks in order to interact with young people.

Pastor Mark is married to Tammy, who worked for 29 years as a Physician’s Assistant, before she and Pastor Mark became missionaries. They have two children. Their daughter Devon is married to Josh and lives in Hernando, MS. She has blessed her parents with grandchildren; Lincoln and Lainey Belle. Their son Drew is married to Amanda, and they live in Conroe, TX.

As members of the Church Universal, we join with all true believers in proclaiming the Lordship of Jesus Christ and in affirming the historic Trinitarian creeds and beliefs of the Christian faith. We value our Wesleyan-Holiness heritage and believe it to be a way of understanding the faith that is true to Scripture, reason, tradition, and experience.

We are united with all believers in proclaiming the Lordship of Jesus Christ. We believe that in divine love God offers to all people forgiveness of sins and restored relationship. In being reconciled to God, we believe that we are also to be reconciled to one another, loving each other as we have been loved by God and forgiving each other as we have been forgiven by God. We believe that our life together is to exemplify the character of Christ. We look to Scripture as the primary source of spiritual truth confirmed by reason, tradition, and experience.

Jesus Christ is the Lord of the Church, which, as the Nicene Creed tells us, is one, holy, universal, and apostolic. In Jesus Christ and through the Holy Spirit, God the Father offers forgiveness of sin and reconciliation to all the world. Those who respond to God’s offer in faith become the people of God. Having been forgiven and reconciled in Christ, we forgive and are reconciled to one another. In this way, we are Christ’s Church and Body and reveal the unity of that Body. As the one Body of Christ, we have “one Lord, one faith, one baptism.” We affirm the unity of Christ’s Church and strive in all things to preserve it. (Ephesians 4:5, 3).

God, who is holy, calls us to a life of holiness. We believe that the Holy Spirit seeks to do in us a second work of grace, called by various terms including “entire sanctification” and “baptism with the Holy Spirit”-cleansing us from all sin, renewing us in the image of God, empowering us to love God with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength, and our neighbors as ourselves, and producing in us the character of Christ. Holiness in the life of believers is most clearly understood as Christlikeness.

Because we are called by Scripture and drawn by grace to worship God and to love Him with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength, and our neighbors as ourselves, we commit ourselves fully and completely to God, believing that we can be “sanctified wholly,” as a second crisis experience. We believe that the Holy Spirit convicts, cleanses, fills, and empowers us as the grace of God transforms us day by day into a people of love, spiritual discipline, ethical and moral purity, compassion, and justice. It is the work of the Holy Spirit that restores us in the image of God and produces in us the character of Christ.

We believe in God the Father, the Creator, who calls into being what does not exist. We once were not, but God called us into being, made us for himself, and fashioned us in His own image. We have been commissioned to bear the image of God: “I am the LORD . . . your God; therefore be holy, because I am holy”

We are a sent people, responding to the call of Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit to go into all the world, witnessing to the Lordship of Christ and participating with God in the building of the Church and the extension of His kingdom (Matthew 28:19-20; 2 Corinthians 6:1).

Our mission begins in worship, ministers to the world in evangelism and compassion, encourages believers toward Christian maturity through discipleship, and prepares women and men for Christian service through Christian higher education.
