About River Pointe and West End Church

River Pointe Church was founded in December of 1996 under Pastor Patrick Kelley, along with his wife Lisa Kelley and four other families. The church grew quickly from living room services, to one of the largest portable churches in the country, to a permanent 96-acre site in Richmond, Texas, perfectly situated near the intersection of two major freeways in one of the most diverse and fastest growing counties in the U.S.  The church's continued growth now reaches more than 6,000 in weekly attendance on 3 campuses (Richmond, Missouri City, and West End inside Houston proper, which brought with it our full name River Pointe and West End Church) as well as a prison campus in Rosharon, TX. The community and congregation are racially diverse, and typical of most suburban areas,and has a heavy emphasis on children and youth ministry.  

Throughout its history, River Pointe has cultivated a culture that is safe, open, authentic, engaging, and welcoming--- with a commitment to reaching out and relating to others well before they ever believe in Christ.
