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.
Together, We make a difference.
God calls each of us, together, to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our community, providing for physical, emotional, and spiritual needs and intentionally communicating the love of Jesus to one another. Living out Jesus' love in action opens hearts and minds to the good news of Jesus and energizes our movement of changed lives impacting Greater Austin for Christ. We are excited to share two new equipping classes we will be hosting the last two Friday's of this month and desire all who lead and serve to join in each session:
Having Hard Truth Conversations with Humility, Compassion and Grace
Speakers: Cindy Hawks and Staci Reichmanis
Church & Nonprofit Ministry Partnership: Connecting in new ways to improve community impact
Speaker: Matt Peacock (Partners in Hope)

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!
This year we are setting our biggest goal yet and need your help to reach it! We are hoping to pack 420,000 meals to feed 1,900 kids for a year! That means we need to raise $122,000 and to rally 2000 volunteers to make this possible. Grab a friend, co-worker, small group and/or family member (children under the age of 5 are not allowed in a packing area) and pack in one of our 2 hour shifts! Don't forget to bring a non-perishable food item to donate to our local food bank.
