Church Planting

The single most effective evangelistic methodology under heaven

Hill Country Bible Church began as one church of 17 believers and has grown into a movement of thousands of growing disciples engaged in nineteen vibrant Hill Country Bible Churches. Each church is committed to the passionate and sacrificial pursuit of the Vision. However, it will take tens of thousands of growing disciples in many different types of these missional congregations throughout Greater Austin to see the Vision become a reality.

HCBC Strategy to reach the 1.4 million people who call Austin home:

• By multiplying disciples
• By planting churches that are:
  • spiritually vibrant and
  • strategically located
• By partnering with like minded ministries

Are there already enough churches in Austin?

• Less than 17% of the people in Austin attend church
• Only 8% attend an evangelical church
• Church attendance was down 18% from 1990 to 2000 despite a net gain of 89 churches
• To keep up with the growing population it was estimated there needed to be at least 415 new churches over that 10 year period

In pursuit of the Vision to reach Austin and utilizing our strategy of planting churches, we have established a Church Planting Training Center to prepare Pastors to team with growing disciples and plant strategically located churches throughout Greater Austin. Click here to view information on our Church Planting Training Center Residency Program.
