01About Andra

Biography

Andra D. Morrell · Houston, Texas

A Michigan native, Houston resident, pastor, and creative leader.

Over 20 years, my experience in ministry and media production has grown through university studies, church leadership, and professional creative work. Along the way, I’ve learned to value both the message and the people it reaches.

I studied Philosophy & Religion at Spring Arbor University, with a concentration in Christian Ministries. That foundation continues to shape how I study Scripture, teach, and help people think deeply about their faith.

In 2007, I moved from Southeast Michigan to Houston, Texas, to serve at Lakewood Church. Today, I serve as an associate pastor at UNION Houston, where I helped build the church from its beginnings and continue to lead in ministry, creative media, and production.

I’m especially passionate about students, young adults, and young men discovering their identity in Christ. I want to make space for honest questions, meaningful growth, and a faith that carries into everyday life.
