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.

Who's Your Jesus?
Who's your Jesus? During Lent, Whit Bodman will be leading a Lenten Series in which we'll explore a number of different pictures and artistic representations of Jesus. These pictures tell us something about Jesus, and they tell us something about the people to whom they're meaningful. Throughout the series, you'll be asked to reflect on your own picture of Jesus--what your picture says about Jesus and what it says about you. The series will start on February 28 and run weekly through March 28. Please join us. more...
