They have…read more *2 Adult Choirs, *an ABLAZE Youth (teenager) choir (That travels) and *even brings the little ones in to sing on occasion. * There is also a Drama Troop that is a lot of fun. *There is an Orchestra and *a Handbell Choir. *They also have music lessons on piano for children. *There is also a Contemporary worship group in the church to boot. Between the ABLAZE choir and the drama troop they even feed the kids dinner. Truly something for everyone. Was incredible blessed to find it. Have made many friends here. They are now part of my church family. There is a lot of love here and yes people are often baptized. I've seen quite a few. Just today an entire family was baptized. Was so beautiful to watch. I was looking for a place to play Cello in an Orchestra for worship and I found it here with plenty to play as well as a wonderful, kind, funny and extremely knowledgable Music Minister, Corey Ash. He most certainly knows exactly what he is doing and has a lovely voice himself. His family also plays harp and sings. The orchestra and choirs and are just such wonderful groups of people. There are also many high school, College kids and Adults that come lend their instrumental skills to the Orchestra as well - even if just for one service. Our Pastor is on point and not afraid to talk about the things that many other pastors shy away from. This world needs a whole LOT more of that. In between the services they have a bible school and many different gatherings for that as well. The campus is large and well appointed. There are many different group of different ages and interests - something for everyone. The demographic tends to skew a bit older, but I love all kinds of people. Older people certainly have their gifts and they preserve the Texas way of life and Gospel that the crazy 2022 world has abandoned, in fact it feels NORMAL here, praise the lord for that! I certainly love traditional family values and am Very happy here. Very grateful to get to play worship music on Cello every week and be Conducted by a Pastor that isn't intimidated by people who can read music. Too many other church worship pastors (victory city) only know chords/play guitar by ear - have no clue what to do with a Cello and string those people along - pun intended. I spent 10 months waiting for an opportunity to play at Christmas only to have them try to mic my Cello (when I have a mic on it and they knew it - but decided to use theirs) and then tell me they can't use me because there aren't enough inputs on their mixing board. Yet they had 4 guitarists and an entire choir of singers individually mic'd. Doesn't seem to be a problem for them when they want to use a someone, then excuses for when they don't. No matter, God - found me a much better place to play at Crestview Baptist in Georgetown. If you want a Traditional Southern Church with amazing music then come on down. If you are also looking to share your musical talents - then contact Corey there to audition (I know they are looking for a Tuba player 12/22 - but open to a lot of other instruments - could sure use more Violins) this can be your wonderful church family too!

Thing Two came…read morehere for the first time this summer and participated in the week-long faith-based day camp from June 26th to June 30th, led by Pastor L.J. MuCulloch. This camp is designed for Kinder through 5th graders (who have just graduated 5th grade) and runs from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM each day. Children who participate in this camp play games, read scripture, and parents can purchase Chick-fil-A meals for $12.00 per day for kiddos. Each day, the children learn about various bible passages that align with the theme of the camp. Each summer, the camp theme changes, and this year, it was "Road Trip" (taking a trip to discover Christ). On the last day of camp, parents are invited to camp to hear 'the word' with their children, learn about what has been happening throughout the week, and have a meal with their campers. Aside from the faith-based center of the camp, as a parent, I appreciated the communication that was sent to parents daily via email and on paper as well as the security protocols put in place to drop off and pick up campers safely and effectively. As a bonus, professional photos of campers are taken daily doing various types of activities. Parents can view these photos on a private website and download photos of their camper(s). Thing Two liked this camp so much to the point that she asked to volunteer next year at this location. The cost of this day camp is $230.00 For parents with little ones (11 years and younger) looking for a faith-based local camp, this may be the place you have been looking for.

This review is only for the Christmas Craft Fair. We heard about it through a flier that a few of…read morethe other churches in the area were passing out. We weren't expecting much as the others were fairly small but the size of this one can be overwhelming. It was multiple stories tall and had piles of things for sale. Each room had more and more vendors. If you're looking for the crafty sort of gifts this place has everything from wood-carved crosses to jewelry to hair ties. Parking was hard despite the large lots because it was overflowing with people. For mobility impaired folks there's only one elevator which can make it hard to navigate as it's also pretty slow.

This is an amazing church filled with so much joy and people who are real. Love the people and love…read morethe community!

Update: Stay away - you will be judged and ghosted by gossip…read more Hypocrites. "EVERY PERSON MATTERS TO GOD" is a lie. God forgives, "Freedom"-less "church" does not. A couple weeks after being persecuted I reached back out to try and reconcile. I called and emailed the church and they said they would get back to me but it has been over a week of silence now which confirms the hypocrisy. I let the "church" know about the review I wrote and they created dozens of five-star ones! Kudos to them. These people are ruled by fear! I have never done anything to cause fear in anybody except preach the gospel. If they fear fire and brimstone it is because that is where they are headed. Original review: Jason Hirsch in his first interaction with me asked me for my full legal name and Social. What REAL pastor does that? Then when I asked to meet with him he said he wouldn't even talk to me until I sent him my Social. My defenses were up at this point so I asked for his, saying it should go both ways. After a brief discussion he then kicked me out of the church because I wouldn't follow his protocol. Freedom is anything but free folks. Beware wolves in sheeps' clothing!! Wish I knew a church in the Austin area I could recommend, but so far they have all been more interested in making sure you follow their rules than loving their neighbor as themselves. Happy church hunting! Texts attached for those who are curious.

I love the warm welcome here as I do also attend other services in Austin. Some churches don't care for visitors believe it or not. St Vincent De Paul is the opposite and I love the short drive given Sunday traffic. They also offer a very early mass which I Love! They also have several for late risers. Do arrive on time or you will have to wait until the Gospel. Not much to ask so that everyone can enjoy the mass even if you are running late. They have ample parking and easy in and out; so refreshing. There are ways to view the mass from outside or with the children. Wonderful church and Parish.

Round Rock folks have all driven by this church 1 million times. It's the "Pumpkin Patch Church". Every fall, they host a pumpkin patch where you can go buy your pumpkins and take pictures in a quaint setting. The thing I didn't know until I started attending was that they give all of the proceeds to the Round Rock Serving Center. And I just think that's beautiful. My family and I are lifelong Christians, but new to the church and to the Episcopal church in general. We started attending this year. I absolutely love it! It is such a welcoming and accepting community. The priests are super sweet and the sermons always beautiful and up lifting. My daughter is a middle schooler and has gotten involved in the youth program. It is incredible. The youth minister and all the kids are super supportive and positive. They have so much fun and also do service to give back to the community. It has really been a highlight of her life this year. She even made the decision to get baptized at the Easter vigil service. If you are looking for a church home, I would definitely recommend stopping in and checking this sweet community out.
