Welcome to the Howard G. Hendricks Center for Christian Leadership where we provide leadership training and development for seminary students as well as ministry and business leaders. My journeys led me from a being a veteran of the U.S. Army to serving as senior pastor at Grace Bible Church in College Station, TX, for 14 year.

In order to serve as a missionary, I left the pastorate and traveled with my wife to Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union to provide leadership training for pastors on the mission field. Today, in addition to my work at CCL, I continue to work in Russia, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia with Entrust (formerly BEE International). and am an adjunct professor in D.Min studies at DTS.

My dear wife Gail and I have been married for more than forty years, and we have two grown children and six wonderful grandchildren. I enjoy spending time with my wife, children, and grandkids, serving as an elder in my church, and watching 24.
