Steiner Ranch, Texas

Why I Love This Opportunity

Todd Clark

Senior Associate

The Lead Pastor opportunity at Lakeview Bible Church is the unique opportunity to join a new church plant that already has healthy finances and hundreds of faithful, serving, investing congregants!

This is a new and autonomous church launch from Hill Country Bible Church.

About This Organization

Lakeview Bible Church is located outside of Austin in the Lake Travis area. Life in the Lake Travis area is characterized by an out-door focused lifestyle with access to family-friendly amenities like parks, playgrounds, and community events. Weekends might involve attending local sporting events, exploring nearby hiking trails, spending family time on the lake, or gathering with neighbors. A strong sense of community is a defining feature, with local schools and churches playing a central role in social life.

The Steiner Campus of Hill Country Bible Church (“HCBC”) was established approximately twelve years ago in conjunction with the HCBC’s multi-site campus strategy. And now this location is becoming its own autonomous church!

Land was purchased for this campus and approximately five years ago a beautiful permanent facility was constructed.

There are currently about 500 in weekend attendance and a $1.2 million to $1.7 million yearly budget.
