Taking the Gospel to Our City

Currently, demographers say that nearly 150 people per day move to Austin. That means every year a new “city” of about 50,000 people come into 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?

We believe that Jesus has given us the mandate to saturate our “Jerusalem” with the love and Good News of Jesus (Acts 1:8).

Therefore, we work to plant church planting churches that at their core make disciples who make disciples.

This requires a two-pronged strategy. First, we will work to raise up church planters from within the congregation of Hill Country Bible Church. As a part of our internal equipping, we train leaders biblically, theologically, and practically - see more information here.

Our second strategy piece is to recruit planters to come to Austin for our two-year residency! We are actively looking for planters who sense a call to plant and 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. Please reach out to us by sending an email to the Church Planting Office. Please include a current resume and cover letter that describes your call to planting and your interest in Austin.

We Plant Bible Churches in Greater Austin, Texas

Thus far we have collaborated with other churches to plant 45 churches to date, and 26 of those are part of the network we call the Association of Hill Country Churches. Our churches span from as far south as Gonzales and as far north as San Saba. Some are just getting their legs under them, some are in the center of the city and still others are burgeoning suburban churches. All have this in common: they want to see our city transformed by the gospel, and therefore we plant churches!
