Nestled in the beautiful Texas Hill Country, Pipe Creek Presbyterian Church is a small faith community where everyone is welcomed as family. We are a congregation of under 100 people. Our greatest strength is the warm, loving atmosphere that comes from being part of a close-knit family. Our mission is to share the joy and comfort of God’s love and the message of reconciliation through Jesus Christ.
In Christ, the Church participates in God’s mission for the transformation of creation and humanity by proclaiming to all people the good news of God’s love, offering to all people the grace of God at font and table, and calling all people to discipleship in Christ. Human beings have no higher goal in life than to glorify and enjoy God now and forever, living in covenant fellowship with God and participating in God’s mission.

Membership in the Church of Jesus Christ is a joy and a privilege. It is also a commitment to participate in Christ’s mission. A faithful member bears witness to God’s love and grace and promises to be involved responsibly in the ministry of Christ’s Church. Such involvement includes:
- proclaiming the good news in word and deed
- taking part in the common life and worship of a congregation
- lifting one another up in prayer, mutual concern, and active support
- studying Scripture and the issues of Christian faith and life
- supporting the ministry of the church through the giving of money, time, and talents
- demonstrating a new quality of life within and through the church
- responding to God’s activity in the world through service to others
- living responsibly in personal, family, vocational, political, cultural, and social relationships
- working in the world for peace, justice, freedom, and human fulfillment
- participating in the governing responsibilities of the church
reviewing and evaluating regularly the integrity of one’s - membership, and considering ways in which one’s participation in the worship and service of the church may be increased and made more meaningful
