The morning program will be held in the Old Supreme Court Chambers on the second floor of the State Capital. The public entrances for the Capitol are the first floor level at the north entrance and the basement level at the south entrance. Take the elevator or the stairs to the second floor and go to the north end of the building.
Since the Old Supreme Court Chambers does have space limitations, only the first 200 registrants will be able to attend the morning session. In the event that registrations exceed that number the afternoon session will be held at the Pillar of Fire church, 1/2 block south of the Capitol on Sherman street. When registrations exceed 200 we will post that information on this website and alert all who have registered.

Dr. Rick Scarborough
Rick Scarborough holds a Master of Divinity Degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and a Doctor of Ministry Degree from Louisiana Baptist Theological Seminary. He holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Houston Baptist University, with a double major in Political Science and Speech.
In 1992, Dr. Scarborough gained national recognition when he exposed the contents of a disturbing assembly program at the local high school. Under the auspices of an AIDS Presentation, a young lady, sponsored by the AIDS Foundation of Houston, candidly discussed every sex act imaginable expressing the opinion (presented as fact) that safe sex was attainable by using condoms. Dr. Scarborough recorded the assembly and then made transcripts available to his congregation the following Sunday morning. The resulting furor that erupted caught the eye of the national media.
Dr. Scarborough mobilized his congregation during the following months to make significant changes in Pearland. Members began running for public office, as well as volunteering for various organizations beyond traditional Christian ministry seeking to become salt and light in their community. National Public Radio produced a two-part feature on Dr. Scarborough during which he was dubbed, The Rising Star of the Religious Right.
In 1996 he published the widely acclaimed 252-page book appropriately entitled, Enough is Enough; a Call to Christian Involvement. Other published works include, In Defense of Mixing Church and State and It All Depends on What IsIs. In 2007 he published Liberalism Kills Kids.
In 1998, he founded Vision America, an organization whose mission is to inform and mobilize Pastors and their congregations to become salt and light, becoming pro-active in restoring Judeo-Christian values in America. The advisory board of Vision America includes notable Christian leaders such as Don Wildmon and Dr. Tim LaHaye.
Dr. Scarborough's work has been featured in numerous articles and publications around the nation. A partial listing includes the New York Times, Washington Times, Kansas City Star, Dallas Morning News, Houston Chronicle, Boston Globe and the Congressional Quarterly.
Dr. Scarborough regularly speaks in churches, rallies, and political conventions.
