Who is RevRod

Hi, I'm Rodrigo Vargas, the lead pastor of Union Houston. My journey is not just about leading a congregation; it's about nurturing a family, both at home and within our church.

As a devoted husband and a proud father of four wonderful children, family is the cornerstone of my life. It's this deep sense of family and community that I bring to my role at Union Houston. My mission is to create a space where faith, hope, and love flourish, guiding our members to find deeper meaning and purpose in their lives with Christ.

Beyond my pastoral duties, I am passionate about sharing wisdom and insights as a speaker and coach. With a heart for empowering others, I strive to inspire positive change and personal growth. Whether it's through a heartfelt sermon, a motivational talk, or a one-on-one coaching session, my goal is to uplift and encourage every individual I meet.

"Jesus changes lives.  I am living proof.  My desire is to connect people to God so that they can discover their purpose and help transform a generation and this city"

-Rodrigo Vargas

My Story

I am an import, a foreigner to some. I was born in a seaside city in Chile. Viña del Mar/Valparaiso was home up until I was 5 years old. Due to political unrest and persecution of freedoms, my father left for the USA. Growing up an immigrant was difficult. I struggled with the culture as well as the English language.  We moved quite a bit. First Miami then Los Angeles and ended up in Houston all by the time I was 14 years old. 

It was during my time in Los Angeles that I had my first experience with alcohol. I was 13 years old and the way it made me feel when it hit my bloodstream was utopia.  Once in Houston I took to the street life and enjoyed running the streets. Fighting, drinking, using drugs, stealing along with other unimaginable evil were all in a day’s life. Contrary to what I was taught at home this is what I chose to do.

I was a hopeless suicidal drug addict...
