About Houston
Student Development & Activities
The Student Development and Activities Committee at Houston Graduate School of Theology is made up of elected student representatives from each of the three areas of study at HGST. This committee seeks to promote the school’s mission by organizing projects such as work days, outreach activities, helping with HGST educational events, and hosting fellowship activities. Recent accomplishments of the SD&A committee have included a work day project that resulted in renovation of a small church, provision of Thanksgiving and Christmas gifts for needy families, and the hosting of student Christmas parties and other HGST functions. Currently, the SD&A is organizing a workday that will improve conditions at another local church and drafting a Student Code of Conduct to be presented to the faculty for review. The committee seeks to live out the mission of empowering spiritual leadership, and advancing the gospel of Jesus Christ.
