George E. Burrell, Sr., Pastor
Formerly Assistant Director, Jail Chaplaincy Ministry

serving Harris County Jail

Pastor Burrell and his wife Kathy have served in ministry for over 28 years. He has a heart for God's people and a passion for preaching and teaching the infallible Word of God. His vision for church ministry reflects how Jesus ministered while on planet earth, ministering to the "total" person.

Pastor Burrell formerly served as Assistant Director of Jail Chaplains Ministry serving Harris County jails. He began the ministry 27 years ago as a volunteer chaplain and has touched the lives of many inmates, their families as well as the Sheriff's Department deputies and staff.

He attended University of Houston and College of Biblical Studies. He is an alumnus of Billy Graham's School of Evangelism and E.K. Bailey's International Expository Preaching Conferences. Pastor Burrell is a Silver Award recipient for outstanding Christian Leadership in the community and a board member for "Youth Reach-Houston" (a long-term Christian foster family group home that ministers to the mental, physical and spiritual needs of this generation's troubled young people). 

Seeing a great need for teen boys and young men to be discipled and mentored, Pastor Burrell founded, Young Men of Valor, a one day conference (A Day of Discussion, A Day of Acceptance, A Day for Change).  For over four years, Young Men of Valor has brought together teen boys and young adult men from various churches, communities and organization from different walks of life to give answers and to impart biblical truths with regard to many pertinent issues that they face each day.

He and Kathy have three adult sons, two daughters-in-love, one granddaughter and five grandsons.
