The Association of Hill Country Churches has one straightforward and compelling vision: That every man, woman, and child in the greater Austin Area will have an opportunity to hear the Gospel from the lips of someone associated with our movement.
If you are being called to plant a church in Austin, you don’t have to do it by yourself; we are here to help you.
That means every year a new “city” of about 50,000 people moves to greater Austin looking for jobs, homes, schools, and friends. The question we face is, “When they come to our city, will they find Jesus?” Will they find a faith community where they can experience the life and love and purpose we find in the gospel? Simply put, will there be enough churches to reach them all?
First, we work to raise up church planters from within our congregations.
Our second strategy piece is to recruit planters to come to Austin for a two-year residency! We are actively looking for planters who sense a call to plant, and a leading from God that central TX is the place to do that. Is that you? Have you heard the Holy Spirit calling you to church planting and to do that in this great city? If so, we want to hear from you.
