Serve
Ministries
Serving God and neighbor is how we live out our faith, through our ministry teams and community partners.
Centered to be a community of centering
God has centered us in Christ, given us an assurance of our belovedness, and in so doing, has made us into a community where people can find their peace and purpose in the midst of a chaotic world. Our Worship and Music Team and Care and Congregation Team help us be a community of centering as we do our best to love one another as Christ loves us.
If you're interested in diving deeper into ministries of worship, prayer, and caring for one another, we would love to have you.
Sunday morning
Worship takes a handful of people every week. Readers, singers, ushers, greeters, and someone at the tech desk running sound and the livestream. If one of those sounds like you, or you would rather try it once before deciding, tell us on the Get Involved form and we will find you someone to shadow.
Inspired to inspire one another and our community
We are inspired by the Holy Spirit, filled with new life, new perspective, and empowered for the journey. This new life is contagious, the generosity and joy to which we have been inspired help us to inspire one another and the whole Lake Travis community to join in God's work of making all things new in Christ. Our Communications Team and Finance Team help us tell the stories of generosity, joy, and relationship that the Holy Spirit has inspired.
If you're interested in sharing stories of what God is doing in your life and in the world, we would love to have you.
Sent to share God's love and to send others to do the same
God loves the world, and sends us out to share the good news of that love with others in word and deed. We join in God's work of bringing justice, peace, and reconciliation in all the world, sharing God's message that you and all people are beloved. Our Spiritual Growth Team and Mission and Outreach Team guide us in this work by organizing service opportunities, forging relationships with community partners, creating opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to participate in sharing God's love and reminding us to have fun while we're at it.
If you're interested in helping plan, organize, or serve alongside us, we would love to have you.

Schools in our community
Each year, we find a way to lift up the teachers and staff of our community schools. It looks a little different each time. Thank you notes, gift cards, snacks and supplies. We line the school drive waving and showing signs of appreciation. However it takes shape, the point is the same: they matter to this community, and we want them to know it.
Helping Hand Crisis Ministry
Year round
Spicewood
An ecumenical ministry that has served Spicewood neighbors since 2007, with emergency food, help with a bill that cannot wait, and someone to sit with you in a hard season. They call it neighbors helping neighbors. Local churches, volunteers and donors keep the shelves full. Read more at helpinghandspicewood.org.
