Meet our Local Ministry Partners.
Hill House is a ministry at the University of Texas at Austin that seeks to instruct students in the Biblical perspective that all of life and vocation flows out of our identity in Christ. They believe that to be obedient to Christ’s command to “Follow me,” students must be equipped to go into the world and integrate their faith in academia, the workplace and the community.

As a Christian ministry at UT, RUF strives to reach students with the good news of Jesus and to equip students to serve others. Jesus said that he did not come to save the righteous, but sinners. RUF exists for the "convinced" and the "unconvinced," the lost, the found, the burned, bored, cynical, and spiritual.

City School is a Christ-centered school that provides a rich education to a diverse community, equipping children academically, spiritually, and relationally to be true servant leaders. In 2002, City School was founded by a group of families who shared a vision for a school that would be: “economically diverse, self-consciously Biblical, and recognize that different children need different things but all need to be challenged.” This has created a unique Christian school community that reflects God’s Kingdom in the City of Austin.
Texas Reach Out is a non-profit ministry that provides housing and spiritual development for Christian men and women reintegrating into society after exiting the criminal justice system. Texas Reach Out provides participants with rooms in residential, furnished homes in safe atmospheres. One of the biggest things working against the formerly incarcerated are the environments to which they return after prison. Texas Reach Out is committed to walking alongside our brothers and sisters in Christ as they work to rebuild their lives with Christ.

Side by Side Kids (SBSK) is the only free faith based after-school program serving elementary-aged students in Austin. They serve in some of the city’s toughest, most under-resourced areas where many kids have no supervision or safe place to go after the bell rings. For this reason, SBSK was established to provide after-school academic support and spiritual growth for economically-disadvantaged students.
