About Us

We at Spirit in the Hills are people diversely centered in Christ, inspired by the Holy Spirit and sent to share God's love in the world.

What does this mean? We have a spirit of openness to live, serve, and grow together. We are young, old, middle-aged, gay, straight, single, married, partnered, from different backgrounds and cultures.

We are lifelong Lutherans, former something elses, seekers, questioners. We want to be caring in times of crisis or joy. We want to be a place to build meaningful relationships. We want to be loved for who we are in this moment. We are fun. As a community of faith and individuals called to life's different vocations, we are committed to sharing the gifts of the Spirit generously throughout the Lake Travis area, including Spicewood, Lakeway, and Bee Cave.

We exist by God's grace to love and serve our neighbors so that they would know God's love.

What does this mean? We believe that the reason God has put us in this place at this time is so that the Lake Travis area, including Spicewood, Lakeway, and Bee Cave, would experience the grace and unconditional love of God for them exactly as they are, and that by living out that divine, unconditional love for all people, God's work of reconciling the world will be furthered.
