Situated along the winding roads of the Texas Hill Country of Austin sits a church on the side of a rocky ridge just outside the city. Austin Ridge Bible Church started with a handful of people as Westlake Bible Church. In 2004, Brad Thomas became the Lead Pastor of the then congregation of 300. With a heart and vision to reach the city, Austin Ridge has blossomed into a church with four campuses and nearly 7,000 people in attendance each week. Austin Ridge is a community that’s authentic, alive, and committed to telling an ancient story to break through even the most hardened of hearts. By using bold teaching and various art mediums and technology, Austin Ridge creates experiences rooted in scripture that are both culturally relevant and deeply personal. Austin Ridge is a mix of modern methods of church ministry, paired with timeless theological and biblical teaching that speaks truth into a culture that desperately needs the hope and love found in Jesus.Austin Ridge is a church for all people. This Bible-grounded church is committed to leading people towards a life focused on the finished work of Jesus, the hope of the Gospel as declared in God’s Word, and the way this truth transforms us into followers of Jesus. The goal at Austin Ridge is to create environments where people can encounter God. When attending Austin Ridge on a weekend, one will be inspired by the dynamic and genuine worship, encouraged by the message, welcomed by the amazing community of people & be reminded that God’s grace is present and available to all! The environment is casual and they simply want people to come as they are.
