Dr. Cosby is first and foremost a teacher. A very good and knowledgable teacher. He really does try to give understanding of what is in the Bible. Not his own interpretations but the word "For the Bible says" (he says that a lot) "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves." Matthew 7:15 NIV Those of you that appreciate studying the word will love Service as well as Bible study (wednesday). The several wonderful choirs (Hanq is the minister of music), programs for youth, elderly, families, singles, young adults etc. if you can't make it watch online, download podcasts, buy tapes at the bookstore. There are so many ways to get yourself secured in the word of God. There are many things to help you not only in your spiritual journey but also the realities of life. I have taken theology in school for many years and this church just helps to increase my understanding. That's what people of faith should strive for...not to know all that is divine but to have knowledge of what is true about God and what is corruption of the Word. Know Him for yourself not what someone else has told you to be the truth. This church offers that guidance to get you there.

I have been attending Wheeler snce my sons were children, but had joined another church. I feel the…read moreLord led me back to Wheeler. This is where the uncompromising word of God is preached. This is where Jesus is lifted up always. Even though the church has a large membership and growing, there are 4 services, so the effort has been made for all to attend. There is bible study, many programs to help with everyday life. The ushers and greeters are friendly. I would recommend this church if you want to grow in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. AND, if you want to learn the bible,, the truth of God's word. I pray the Lord continues to bless this wonderful body of Christians, led by William Lawson, Pastor emeritus and Dr. Cosby, the Pastor of Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church. Pastor Cosby and others have strived to make this a warm and friendly church environment and a great help to the community, also.

St. Theresa-Memorial Park has been our church for about 10 years. We came here from another nearby…read moreparish and that is the same story for a lot of people we have met here. We all agree that it just felt right when we found St. T. We did not know a single soul when came here but now have many close friends. It is a hidden gem, but worth looking for. Super location at the edge of Memorial Park. It is not unusual to see runners and golfers pop in for mass. Very diverse: students, singles, couples, young families, seniors; all kinds, all walks. All are truly welcome here. Each Sunday obligation mass has a different "flavor", so try another if you aren't feeling the right fit. Also, our pastor Fr. Phil is awesome. Check us out. You will not be just another name on the parish roll. Join a club, a ministry or a class and you will meet lots of really genuinely nice people. I really encourage runners to come by. My dream is to have a runners' mass maybe once a month, I think that would be really cool! P.S. I give 5 Stars because I love this church, but I know it is not perfect. We are working on some physical changes right now that will make St. Theresa's 5 Stars plus! * There is also an excellent PreK3 - 8th Grade School here. I will write about that in another review.

As a former student I agree with many of the negative reviews here. It looks like not much has…read morechanged. I attended this school from 1st through 8th grade and now I'm in my 30s. They are still owned by the same people it seems. Back then there was already a high teacher turnover rate and my experiences here ultimately pushed me away from religion altogether. I endured relentless bullying after 5th grade including from staff's children and older students, while teachers looked the other way. I also dealt with derogatory name-calling and shaming from both peers and staff. In 7th grade I was pressured into signing a contract without my parents' knowledge after administrators decided I wasn't "the kind" they wanted at their school. What triggered the contract in the first place was my MySpace at the time. I had a tank top on in my profile picture that supposedly accentuated my chest mind you I was 12. Eventually I was expelled, for something as small as kissing a boy on the cheek, while far more serious behavior from other students were overlooked. Looking back, I wish my parents had never paid tuition here. I found more peace, acceptance, and quality education in Katy ISD public schools than I ever did at this private school. Save your money, and if you are set on private school, try anywhere but here. They don't advocate or empathize with their students. You either fit their mold or you're an outcast.

It's been a fantastic school for our family over the past few years. It's a small school that feels…read morelike a homeschool co-op. The experience varies tremendously based on each teacher for elementary but we've been very fortunate with excellent teachers. The math program is very good. Students are given the opportunity to skip grades it capable. Class sizes are very small (often 10 or less per grade) and kids receive plenty of individual attention. However, like any school, parent involvement is still important. The facilities could use upgrades and the restrooms would benefit from being kept cleaner.

I attended the 9:30 am service and 11am bible study so this is what I've observed and experienced at those specific times. You might have a different experience from what I had at depending on the time you go! For starters, the worship building was beautiful! Walking around this campus was super overwhelming though. I got lost trying to find my friend here because it's HUGE. I got here about 10 minutes before the service started but did not have trouble finding a good seat. Worship was about an hour long; 15 minutes of singing and about 45 min of preaching. I really liked Ben Young's style of teaching; I truly felt like I was being taught rather than the propensity preaching that most megachurches present. Their bible study sessions was also great; I could be there all day listening to the lady teach. I really regret not bringing my bible and taking notes. Although this was a great church to attend, I personally don't think it is the right fit for me. Cons: Mega-Church Lack of young people Lack of diversity (in my opinion) Pros: Multiple worship/bible study times Lots of organizations/groups to be apart of Beautiful campus

We love this school and its teachers and staff. The school definitely emphasizes its Catholic identity, which is the primary reason why I would even consider sending my kids to a Catholic school. There are several award-winning teachers here and it shows. Quality education, family-like environment and the tuition is extremely reasonable for a private school. While they may not have the fanciest things and facilities, when I see my child's development and love for going to school, I feel reassured that I've made the right decision by sending him here. I've gotten involved with the parent community, which at first was a bit daunting but it's been a great experience getting to know them and I look forward to journeying together with them as our children all grow up here.

To be clear, the two stars are only for a handful of wonderful teachers that worked there. I was…read moretold great things about the school with the prior principal. However, I do have to say under this new principal the school has become very business driven and has lost the old Catholic school culture. She lacks leadership and has developed an atmosphere of turning the other way when issues evolve. She's very transparent of the families and student selections that have more facilitation to support economically. The bullying situation in the school is atrocious. They have nothing set in place to have any control over the situation and only have a part-time counselor so if it's her day off and there's an issue to be addressed, good luck. Again to be fair there is a handful of good hearted teachers that work hard and care about the students but the leadership. I feel well little by little deteriorate, the quality of the school. Just speaking from the heart and God willing things will change for future generations once this leadership team is no longer there.
