Why We HP

“I love the Church @ HP because serious study of religious questions is not only accepted, but encouraged by a caring community of good listeners with a wide variety of points of view. Over a span of nearly 38 years, our understanding of what God expects of us and how we can play a role in ‘creating God’s kingdom on earth’ has grown with the support of the people who make up this place where ‘Everybody Matters’. There is no place we would rather be on Sunday morning.”
Margaret Stafford Member Since 1982

“We like how everybody interacts kindly and how we accept everybody. We have a lot of fun and keep everybody entertained. Also, our Sunday School teachers are really cool and I like how we can ask any question about anything.”
Alexander & Adrian Rapier Members Their Whole Lives

“I love the genuine expressions of love whenever we are blessed to be able to attend. Most of all, I love the sense of family and everything that word means. In these truly difficult times, when we all seem so distant from each other in so many different ways, I love that the Church at Highland Park offers the one thing that is most important to my family and I: a place to call home.”
Brian Walters Member Since 2016

“Moving back into this community was like coming home for me. The church was instrumental in my healing from a very painful time in my life. I never considered going anywhere else.”
Holly Eades Member Since 1993

“I joined Highland Park when I was 8 years old, the year we moved to Austin, and it was one of the best decisions our family made. Paige started coming with me to camps when we were in high school and we knew once we got married this was the church where we wanted to raise our kids. The memories, relationships and faith foundation Highland Park has provided over the course of our lives truly can’t be summed up in a quick testimonial. We love Highland Park for many reasons: our pastor, leadership team, mission-minded congregation and family focus. We’re excited about the future and can’t wait for our kids to create similar memories and a faith foundation that will provide a fabric for their lives.”
Rusty Shelton Member Since 1989

“Over the years, my family has had a number of illnesses and deaths, and our church was there for us every time—and by church, I mean the people. Faces have changed, folks have moved, died, or just are not coming now. But the love for God and each other has never changed.”
Susan Magee Member Since 1969

“Highland Park has made me feel incredibly welcome since the day I first visited. Its members are dedicated to demonstrating God’s love in our community, and I look forward to gathering together each Sunday.”
Kade Keith Member Since 2016
