St. John's is a beautiful little church located just a bit south of town square in New Braunfels…read more The chapel is gorgeous and holds perhaps 200 if jam packed. An ordinary Sunday congregation is more like 80 to 100 parishioners. They have two services on Sunday, one at 8:45am and the other at 11am. Christian Education is from 10am to 10:45am. The Vicar, Rev. Ripp Hardaway, is both scholarly and folksy, both challenging and easygoing. We love his approach to explaining Christ's love and how we are called to share it with others. Don't know how many Aggie Episcopalians there are, he might be one of a kind. The Episcopal Church is a treasure, the theology being based on a balance of "scripture, tradition and reason". This permits a wide range of discussion and interpretations of the meaning of scripture. Nobody here walks around acting like he/she has all the answers. But Jesus is at the center of it all, without doubt. We found the members of this church to be warm, welcoming and accepting, and focused on Christ's message of serving others. After checking out a number of churches in town, we happily joined.

The congregation member always come to greet him warmly, and say they are happy to see me, and "welcome back". I live about 15 miles away so I don't come regularly. Thru the years, I have seen it during slow times and now am happy to say that it is thriving. With young families and newcomers of all ages. The music is always special as well, I love the cozy interior of the mid century style structure that was built in 1965 ( I believe) I appreciate its history and that the congregation chose to preserve the original building. They are growing and need more space, so there is a campaign, but they don't push it on you, which I appreciate. The sermons are always relevant. Ripp Hardaway is wonderful. He is intelligent and down to earth, serious when needed and joyful when appropriate. I always get something from his sermons. So does my Dad. We often discuss what we learned in church. It is always relevant. We go to the 8:45 service usually. Just fyi. Ps. I am not the most outwardly religious person. I like to keep it personal. Thank you for reading this.

What do you think will happen against a group of immature high school knuckleheads? No wisdom shown there. She ended up with a concussion, but no call was ever placed to her parents ( emergency contacts) despite the youth pastor having witnessed the entire event. No wisdom shown there either. They often state that they are a group of imperfect people worshipping a perfect God. No arguments there, but prefer to worship where they are equally concerned about my physical being and not just my spiritual.

Lime Kiln is a narrow two lane road that has very little traffic during the week and most of the traffic on Sunday is PL. They still have police officers holding traffic on a public road so their members can enter and leave their private lot, which then backs traffic up at the stop sign on Post. If they will leave the traffic alone, everything will move just fine! Right now, if you need to be somewhere on Sunday morning, leave early because PL members getting in and out of their parking lot is more important than where you have to be!

My husband and I (and now our 4 month old baby girl) have been driving to Seguine from Austin on…read moreand off for almost a year now to attend Grace Family Bible Church. It's a lovely drive and because it's an hour outside of Austin we just make a day of it and try to have our going out there be our only plans. This church is small (never seen more than 25 people during a service) which is refreshing after attending a very large, praise heavy church for many years. Everyone is warm and welcoming and it's rather diverse in age and race for being so small. Mostly families. Pastor Scott Mitchell is a very direct and knowledgeable teacher who rightly divides the Word of Truth...but most of all he is compelled to share the Gospel of Grace! There is not a band... No "Praise and Worship" top 40 here. There has been some musical accompaniment to the singing, but I personally like that we usually sing two old school hymns acapella in between the two sermons. Hymns are just magnificent pieces of writing...beautiful, scriptural, and they always show a great love and respect for the Lord. And yes, I did say they have TWO sermons! This is a true BIBLE church. The emphasis is on studying the Word of God. (The King James Bible) The first starts at 10am and is just under an hour long. This sermon is usually a continuation of a series...like now we are not studying "The Kingdom of Heaven". The second is typically more practical in nature like, "How to share the Gospel" and is a stand alone message that is also about an hour long. Brother Scott always uses scripture to define scripture, so you will get to know your way around the Bible REAL fast. And it's exciting! And you can ask questions or get clarifications during the sermons! It's engaging, challenging, always thought provoking, and leaves me wanting to study my Bible all the more! From their website: "Grace Family Bible Church has one focus: We want all men to see that God has reconciled the world unto Himself through His precious Son Jesus Christ, and He is no longer holding men accountable for their sins. All of your sins were paid for by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ at Calvary's cross, and you can be saved eternally by simply trusting that Christ died for your sins, was buried and raised again."

It is a quaint little church about an hour south east of Austin - worth the drive if you really want a church that will teach you from the word of God (KJB) and make the gospel priority. The people are super friendly - but, not pushy. There is a small, educational children's program. If you like the Truth and are tired of the entertaining churches - this is a special place. You can go to the website to hear some of Pastor Scott's teachings - you can also find his teachings on a site called: www.trustingthelord.com
