about us

Houston Area Pastor Council was founded in 2003 as a trans-denominational, inter-racial coalition of senior pastors who came together to bring a united, Biblical voice to the city, state and even nation.  We have grown to nearly 200 senior pastors in the greater Houston area as well as assisted in developing Pastor Councils in Austin, Beaumont and other cities around the country, birthing the identity of U.S. Pastor Council to connect those teams of pastors.

USPC is the only culturally and politically active organization from a Biblically-grounded perspective that is focused on developing strong, functioning teams of pastors in each city as a means to enlisting a strong remnant at the grassroots level. 

The mission of the Houston Area Pastor Council and sister councils in USPC is to empower pastors and their congregations across racial and denominational lines to impact the culture and community through concerted prayer, to equip our congregations for effective citizenship and to provide a unified voice on spiritual, cultural, social and moral issues from a Biblical perspective.  The AMERICA Plan was developed as a Purpose Statement of how pastors and churches can and must enage in godly citizenship.

HAPC has become a respected voice on front line cultural and political issues from a non-partisan perspective, holding elected officials of both major parties and non-partisan offices to a Biblical standard.  The Pastors' Declaration of Godly Citizenship was developed to clarify the core values of this coalition.

HAPC has conducted numerous luncheons, workshops, rallies, elected official summits, Pastors' Day At the Capitol and many other activities bringing pastors together, proving top quality Biblical, historical, legal and public policy information as well as standing in the gap for our nation.

Pastors wishing to launch a council in your city are urged to contact Executive Director Dave Welch at 832-688-9166 or by email to info@uspastorcouncil.org and we will assist you in the critical steps of developing a strong team to build from that will have the greatest potential to impact your city and state!
