Pastor Suzette Caldwell

Intense determination to implement God’s purpose for her life would describe the character of Pastor Suzette Caldwell. She has committed her life to achieving excellence through biblical living. She strongly believes that any person who is willing to “walk by faith” and trust God will achieve their dreams and desires.

In 1986, Suzette graduated from the University of Houston with a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering. Caldwell’s professional career as an environmental engineer in the public and private sector spans over 14 years.

As an entrepreneur, she owned TC Consulting Group, Inc., an environmental consulting company. In September 1997, Governor George W. Bush appointed Mrs. Caldwell to the University of Houston System Board of Regents. Pastor Suzette is also included in the ordained ministry process of the United Methodist Church.

Presently, she serves as Board Chair and President for The Prayer Institute, a non-profit communitybased organization that prays for the Houston metropolitan area and has taught thousands of people how to pray based on the Model Prayer (the Lord’s Prayer). In addition, Caldwell serves as Associate Pastor for Windsor Village United Methodist Church which has more than 14,000 members. Her service to the community, in addition to her technical career, has better equipped her to empower people to fulfill God’s promises for their lives.
