Welcome to The Congregational Church of Austin, UCC!
    If you are looking for a small, friendly church where everyone will quickly know your name...where you'll be loved and accepted regardless of your age, class, race, ethnicity or sexual orientation...where you'll be challenged to reflect on your beliefs, acknowledge your doubts, ask your questions and grow in your faith...where God's desire for compassion, healing, reconciliation, and justice is preached...where you're given the opportunity to put your faith into action through effective volunteer and outreach ministries...then we hope to get to know you as a new friend. No matter who you are or where you are in your journey, you are welcome here.
   We are affiliated with the United Church of Christ (UCC), a liberal Christian denomination that promotes spirituality, peace, justice, education and freedom throughout the world. Here you will find a faith community where members accept and encourage spiritual seeking, diversity and fellowship. Serving our immediate community is a large part of our faith, members participate in the local food pantry sponsored by Micah 6, share the responsibility for a freeze night shelter housed in our basement and share space with LifeWorks community outreach program. Join us for worship every Sunday at 11 am and Adult Sunday School at 10 am. Click for directions.

Sunday, May 19, Pentecost Sunday

This Sunday, May 19, is Pentecost Sunday.  We’ll be reading and reflecting on passages from Acts of the Apostles and the Gospel According to John, and worshipping with Christian liturgies from around the world.
 
Following worship this Sunday, we’ll be hosting a Forum on affordable housing (or the lack thereof in Austin), and the possible city bond election this fall that would provide funds for affordable housing if passed.  Walter Moreau, Executive Director of Foundation Communities will speak and show the Keep Austin Affordable video.  We’ll discuss how folks in our church can do more to support affordable housing in Austin.

"New Class on the Parables of Jesus.   Beginning June 9th, Greg Futch will lead a lecture and discussion class on the parables of Jesus.  He wants to emphasize that all folks are encouraged to attend, even those who have never come to the adult education class at 10:00 am.  There will be presentations on at least 5 or 6 of the famous stories from the Gospels, and in-depth looks at the way these parables have been interpreted through time.  Are they still relevant today?  Each Sunday class will be a stand-alone session, so come to any or all. Join the discussion!!!"

UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST FIRST IN JUSTICE AND EQUALITY
