About The Austin Stone South

A Thriving Church in South Austin, TX

Back in 2013, our South Congregation was created and fueled by a desire to love our city and the people God has placed within it. Even as many things changed throughout the years, that core passion remains—we're devoted to Christ and devoted to one another. Here, we're more than just a group of people gathering once a week on Sundays—we're a family.

Even though we come from all different backgrounds and walks of life, we’re united by our deep love for Jesus and a heart for serving each other as brothers and sisters. But this family isn’t just for us—we want you to be a part of it!

Kids Ministry at The Austin Stone South

Each Sunday, we host programming for children 8 weeks old through 5th grade at 9am. Our thoroughly vetted and trained volunteers provide a safe and fun environment for kids to worship Jesus in a large-group setting and learn about the Bible in a smaller group. And for nursery-aged children, we provide a caring space where they are prayed over and cared for during services.

Students Ministry at The Austin Stone South

Middle School Students

On Sunday mornings during the 9am service, our 5th, 6th, and 7th graders meet for a time focused on learning to study the Bible and establishing firm foundations of the faith!

Middle school students gather weekly on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-8:30pm for food, fun, and gospel teaching.

High School Students

On Sunday mornings, we encourage students in 8th through 12th grade to attend the 9am service as they integrate into the life of the church body. Whether by worshipping alongside their friends or parents, sitting under the teaching of elders, or serving in other areas of ministry, we want to empower students to love the church!

High school students gather weekly on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-8:30pm for food, fun, and gospel teaching.
