Chad Clarkson is the co-founder and Executive Director of the Houston Church Planting Network (hcpn.org), a network of over 175 churches across Greater Houston working together to foster a movement of multiplying churches that saturate the city with the gospel. Chad also serves as a coach to other cities through City Networks (citynetworks.org), an initiative launched by HCPN to equip and mentor leaders pursuing similar visions in their communities.

Before moving to Houston, Chad was involved in planting churches in Iowa and South Carolina. He then served for ten years as the Pastor of Church Planting and Missions at Clear Creek Community Church. Chad has been married to Mindy for 25 years, and together they have six children.

Jeremiah Morris is the Pastor of Preaching and Vision at Seven Mile Road, a church he planted 10 years ago with a small group in his living room. Today Seven Mile is a network of 59 house churches in the heart of the city. He is passionate about his wife, Ashley, and their 5 boys. He also loves preaching the gospel, the city of Houston, and anything wrapped in a tortilla. He helps to provide strategic leadership to the Houston Church Planting Network as a board member and is a member of the leadership council for the Acts 29 Network.

Jeremiah graduated from Texas Christian University (B.A. Philosophy) and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (MDiv) and was recently accepted at Western Seminary where he will be working on his DMin in leadership
