About HLI

Our Story

The Beginnings of HLI

  1.  Hispanic Leadership Initiative (HLI) was birthed out of the hearts of many Teaching and Ruling Elders from churches in the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) in 2009. As leaders gathered in Dallas, Texas, they began to sense a great opportunity to serve the fast-growing and rapidly-changing demographic within their communities. After many prayerful meetings between leaders of the Southwest Church Planting Network and Park Cities Presbyterian Church, HLI was born..
