Welcome to the Austin Christian Church

We are a family of believers committed to following our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We are striving to build a fellowship that extends beyond social, racial and generational lines. God has blessed us with a dynamic campus ministry at the University of Texas, Texas State University and Austin Community College. "It takes a village to raise a child," and to that end the families in our congregation are committed to providing a dynamic learning environment for our children as they are raised in the Lord. An exciting children's program, preteen, junior high and high school groups are all an important part of our ministry. We are a loving, tight knit fellowship and are always excited to welcome new members to our family. We have many hopes, dreams and aspirations of what God can do through us individually and collectively as a fellowship. We invite you to join us!
