Community Impact
The Community Impact Ministry equips and sends the people of Hill Country Bible Church to bless our community and saturate Greater Austin with the love of Jesus. As individuals grow in their walk with God, we develop and empower them to help lead our movement of changed lives that impacts Greater Austin for Christ.
Upcoming Community Events
Join us as we seek to saturate Greater Austin with the love of Jesus. Backpack Attack is another way for the body of Christ to be a movement of changed lives that impacts Greater Austin and beyond for Christ by helping thousands of economically challenged Leander ISD elementary and middle school students have the resources to start school with a backpack and basic school supplies.
You can help students to go back to school ready to succeed. Volunteer one of the three days to assemble and distribute backpacks and/or donate to help cover the cost of the materials. Just a little over $13 will provide one of the 3200 backpacks/supplies needed to distribute.
Volunteers are needed to help with the Backpack Attack in the following ways at the LEO Center:
- Thursday, July 25th - Setup Tables and Chairs & Unpack supplies
- Friday, July 26th - Assemble backpacks with supplies
- Saturday, July 27th - Distribution Day. We need Greeters/Hosts to guide families through the event, Booth/Refreshment Volunteers (face painters, refreshment servers), Backpack Distributors, and help with Set-Up/Tear Down.
What is the Global Leadership Summit? It's an amazing 2-day leadership conference that impacts 405,000+ leaders across the U.S. and in 135 countries, providing vision, inspiration, and countless practical skills you can put to work Monday morning. We look forward to seeing you August 8-9, 2024 at Grace Covenant Church (183/Loop360)! Register here for a free ticket to the in-person experience, sign up here and in the required field "Guest Of" please put Hill Country or HCBC.
