Texas Louisiana Hispanic Network

What Texas Louisiana Hispanic Network does

The Texas Louisiana Hispanic Network (TLHN), operating under the legal name Texas Louisiana Hispanic District, is a non-profit district fellowship within the Assemblies of God denomination serving Hispanic Assemblies of God churches and credentialed ministers across East Texas and Louisiana. The network comprises more than 121 member churches and over 270 credentialed ministers organized through 11 geographic sections, with two operational offices in Houston (79 Uvalde Rd, headquarters) and San Antonio (10843 Braun Rd, regional). Its core function is to provide ministerial credentialing (Certificate, Licensed, and Ordained tiers with corresponding education requirements of 48-96 hours), distribute denominational resources, coordinate section-level pastoral support through presbyters, and organize district-wide events.

The organization's technology stack is intentionally lightweight: a Tithely-hosted website (txlahispanic.org) for communications, a YouTube channel (@TLHNMedia) for event content, Facebook and Instagram for community engagement, and a portfolio of off-the-shelf payment and donation platforms (Aplos, Tithe.ly, Zelle, PayPal) for tithes and event registration. A branded merchandise storefront is also operated through Tithely. There are no proprietary platforms, APIs, or AI/ML components disclosed.

The business model is a hybrid of recurring and transactional revenue streams typical of a denominational district. Recurring revenue comes from mandatory minister credential dues paid to the General Council (Certified $120/yr, Licensed $240/yr, Ordained $300/yr) and from minister tithes remitted to the district based on employment role (full-time senior pastors: 80-100% of tithe to network; part-time ministers: 50%). Transactional revenue includes tiered event registration fees for conferences such as Convención de Mujeres ($100-$140) and NWM Equip Healthy Rhythms ($30-$50), plus merchandise sales and online giving. The go-to-market motion is community-led, relying on the presbyter network, event programming, and bilingual (English/Spanish) communications to engage member churches and credentialed ministers.
