From Our Pastor
Welcome to Faith Presbyterian Church! We are a community of faith striving to love God and love our neighbors in south Austin and around the globe. We are committed to radical inclusion and extend a generous welcome to all. We welcome believers, questioners, and questioning believers.
No matter who you are, where you are on your journey of faith, you are welcome here. No matter how you identify or who you love, you are welcome here. Regardless if you are trying church for the first time…or giving church one last chance…you are welcome here, and we hope you’ll find a home at Faith.
Sincerely,
Pastor Amy
Frequently Asked Questions
What is worship like at Faith?
Worship at Faith is casual with some traditional elements. Our music ministry blends hymns and anthems from our choir with special music by soloists, chimes, and our band, Banned From the Church. You can expect to experience holistic worship incorporating liturgy, prayers, music, and the reading and hearing of God’s Word.
What should I wear to worship?
Whatever makes you feel comfortable. Come as you are and as your authentic self. In the spirit of Austin’s diversity, you’ll see everything from dresses and suits to t-shirts and jeans. You might see the pastor in a traditional robe with a stole, or in regular clothes. Everyone belongs.
May I participate in Holy Communion?
Yes! This is not our table, or a Presbyterian table, it is Christ’s table. All who trust in Christ are invited to his table. This includes children who are being nourished by faith through their families. Communion is served on the first Sunday of every month. Due to Covid-19, we are partaking of communion through individually packaged elements. Gluten-free elements available.
I have children. Are they welcome in worship?
Yes! We love to have children of all ages in our sanctuary. There is a Children’s Message in the first half of the service for all ages of children present. Nursery care is available for infants and toddlers during the worship hour. There is a rocking chair in the narthex available to parents as well.
Will I have to say anything or share my information?
We want you to be comfortable during your visit, and we’ll give you all the space you need. So while we can guarantee you’ll be greeted warmly, you don’t have to do or say anything which makes you uncomfortable. It’s completely up to you when and if you share any contact information.
I have a disability. How is Faith equipped?
We do our best to assist people with different types of impairments. Our entryways have ramps for walkers and wheelchairs. We have handicap accessible restrooms and special seating inside the sanctuary. We have hearing devices located in the narthex. An usher will be happy to help you with any accommodations you need. If you need special help getting from the parking lot into the sanctuary, please let us know ahead of Sunday morning by emailing office@faithpresaustin.org or calling 512-444-1314.
I’ve experienced some rejection and discrimination in churches. Will I be welcome at your church?
Yes! We are radically inclusive, just like Jesus. Everyone belongs. You will not only be welcomed here, but affirmed as your authentic self. We love all types of families and you’ll find our church family is also very diverse. Our restrooms are gender-neutral.
Still have questions?
Please speak with an usher or greeter as you arrive at the sanctuary. They will be happy to answer your questions and help you enjoy your visit. If you have a specific question you need answered before you attend, email office@faithpresaustin.org
