President
Houston Christian University
Houston Christian University was blessed with the leadership of Dr. Robert Sloan. His vision and his faith impacted The Guild and our many endeavors. We were blessed by his encouragement, his friendship, and his passion for Christian higher education. The Guild’s scholarship program was especially close to his heart. The following is the message he prepared for us earlier this summer.
Dear Friends,
The year 2026 marks the twentieth anniversary of my tenure as President of Houston Christian University. One of the first events Sue and I attended in 2006 was The Guild’s Fall Coffee. From that initial introduction to the present day, we have been grateful for the outpouring of support and friendship we have received from members of The Guild.
In November of 2025, The Guild was given the prestigious Spirit of Excellence Award at HCU’s biennial Spirit of Excellence Gala. This served not only to celebrate The Guild’s 50th anniversary, but also to recognize the dedication, service, and prayer of its members and their commitment to improving the lives of others. Your support of numerous projects and events has added to the growth and development of this institution. Your generosity has helped over two hundred students attain advanced degrees in Education and Theology and has contributed to the amazing growth in enrollment the University has experienced throughout my twenty years here.
Thank you to all the ladies of The Guild—past and present. Your impact has helped create pastors, ministers, teachers, superintendents, and educators for the last half century. We thank God for your generosity and pray He continues to bless you for many years to come.
Robert Sloan
