Austin Heights Church

Austin Heights Church Gathered by Grace, Growing in love, Empowered to serve. We are a progressive Baptist church in the deep piney woods of east Texas. We welcome everyone!

Yes, there really is a progressive church in East Texas. We strive to love and include ALL who seek to know Christ. Like Christ, we try to include the excluded, reach the marginalized, and minister to those who hurt and are in need. If you are new to our city or are otherwise looking for a church home, we invite you to join with us.​​

This body of believers is gathered by the Grace of our Lord Je

sus Christ, growing in the love of God, and empowered by the Holy Spirit to serve the community by manifesting the teachings of Jesus. We believe all Christians are called to serve, and that every member is a minister. Austin Heights Baptist Church observes the two New Testament ordinances of Baptism and the Lord's Supper. We practice believer's baptism by immersion and our communion is open to all members of the Christian faith.

Dr. Stephen Shoemaker will lead our congregation in a discussion of worship based on his latest book, Our Ceremony of Love: The Meaning and Practice of Christian Worship. Dr. Shoemaker is an author, teacher, and pastor who has served over fifty years in six churches, including Crescent Hill Baptist Church in Louisville, Ky. While there he was pastor to Kyle and Jane Webb Childress and officiated at their wedding. In addition to being an author, theologian, and pastor, he is also a musician, beginning his college career as a cello major.
In a review of the book, Jason Byassee, a minister in Toronto, wrote, “Accessible yet rich in spiritual wisdom, this book is ideal for ministers, worship leaders, musicians, students and congregants who long to plan and participate in worship that is theologically grounded, emotionally honest, and spiritually alive. Whether you lead worship or simply love it, this book will rekindle your imagination and deepen your experience.”
