On September 21st at 11am The City community church had its first public service. It was amazing!
Our team small as it might be (17 people) did a phenomenal job getting everything just perfect. The signs outside, the welcome table, the setup and tear down, the ambiance and communion setup, the sound, video, band, children's ministry, and the reception afterwards, everything was not only well planned but well executed. I love working with these people, they are fun to be with, are extremely hard workers, and they love Jesus!
The coolest thing was how many of our friends from work, neighborhoods and service projects joined us for the service, it is really for them that we have started this church in and for Central Austin.
We are exhausted after weeks of intensive preparations, but we are thrilled!

Charter Service
On October 23rd 1985 Hill Country Bible Church Northwest was started by 17 people who committed themselves to see every man, woman and child in Greater Austin reached by the life-changing reality of Jesus Christ. Twenty-three years later this commitment has led to 13 churches in the Greater Austin area who long to see God glorified in Austin by seeing men and women gripped by the grace and crazy love of Jesus Christ!
On September 7th 2008 once again 17 people stepped out in faith to see God glorified and people in Central / Downtown Austin gripped by the love of God, as we chartered THE CITY community church.
It was an incredible time as we worshipped together with elders, pastors, and members of various Hill Country Association churches. We even had 3 of the original 17 in attendance as we committed ourselves to God, one another, and the people of Austin.
God has done an incredible miracle in bringing us together from 7 nations, every socio-economic background, and various generations to start this community of faith in the city and for the city!
