SGP - Building Houten Together
Christian local politics in Houten means working together on a town that is safe, liveable, and responsible for future generations.
Whether you grew up here or arrived from abroad. Our Christian local politics are based on clear values. With the Bible as our foundation, we work for affordable housing, a safe and green living environment, and a strong countryside around Houten.
Growth is necessary, but always in a way that respects Houten’s village character and its neighbourhoods. Careful decision-making, community involvement, and responsible stewardship are central to how we shape the future of our town: together with you.

Our Priorities
Building the Houten way & and building faster
We deliver enough affordable housing, built in a way that reflects Houten’s village character and green surroundings, with both speed and quality.
A green, safe public space
We invest in a clean, green, and safe public space where residents feel at home and can meet one another.
Keeping the countryside close
We strengthen the surrounding villages and countryside by involving residents, preserving the agricultural character, and keeping essential facilities close by.
Christian local politics in Houten
As a Christian political party in Houten, SGP Houten actively participates in local government. We believe that good municipal leadership requires care, responsibility, and a clear focus on the long term: not only addressing today’s challenges, but also preparing Houten for future generations.
Building and preserving
Our work is guided by the biblical principle of building and preserving. Building means ensuring there are enough suitable homes in Houten — for young people, families, singles, and seniors alike. It also means supporting local employment by giving entrepreneurs and businesses room to grow in appropriate locations.
Preserving means caring responsibly for creation, with respect for the environment and our living surroundings. It also stands for upholding values and traditions that contribute to a liveable society, such as community responsibility, mutual respect, and a healthy balance between work and rest.
Christian politics in practice
For us, Christian politics in Houten is about serving with humility and responsibility. We recognise that policies and plans are not everything, and that trust and stewardship guide how we govern. Together with the people of Houten (including those who have made this town their new home) we want to work towards a social, fair, and stable municipality, now and in the future. With conviction, care, and a strong sense of responsibility for what has been entrusted to us.
