Word Ministries at High Pointe

While preaching is central to the life of our church, it is not enough. We must also study the word together and learn to apply it to ourselves and one another. For these reasons, we offer opportunities for you to study the word together:
  • Life Classes Resumed Sunday, August 27 | 9:00 AM
    • Life Classes are meant to equip you for life as a Christian in this world. This semester we are offering classes on Marriage and Family and History and Theology of the Old Testament. The marriage class will also be offered in Spanish.
    • We also offer nursery and a children’s Life Class.
    • Our Meaningful Membership Class resumes this Sunday as well.
    • For information on Life Classes, click HERE.

  • Women’s Bible Studies
    • Each semester, we offer two women’s Bible studies on Wednesdays – one in the morning and one in the evening. Our morning study will take you through Acts, while the evening study will study 1 & 2 Kings.
      • Morning Bible Study, 10:00 am – 11:30 am, begins September 13
      • Evening Bible Study, 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm, began August 23

  • High Pointe Institute | August 30 – December 13 | | 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
    • The High Pointe Institute (HPI) is a one-year (two semester) discipleship program meant to offer a pathway for growing disciples to be equipped for ministry both in the church and the world. This program will instill a commitment to Scripture and a better grasp of the biblical storyline, a solid foundation in Christian doctrine, and an increasing ability to connect theology to one’s life, worship, and mission.
    • Register HERE.

  • Biblical Counseling | August 30 – December 13 | 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm
    • The Counseling Class aims to promote a culture of counseling and care in High Pointe by first helping believers bring the Scriptures to bear on common issues and problems they face. Thereby equipping them to know the power of the Word of God applied through the Holy Spirit.
    • Register HERE.

Applying the Word: Life Groups
Our Life Groups are the place for sermon discussion, relationship-building, and mutual prayer and encouragement. If you are not in a Life Group, it’s likely you will feel disconnected from the life of High Pointe.

KidsPointe Resumed Sunday, August 27! ALL Children Must Be Registered
We’re excited to kick off a new curriculum, The Gospel Story. This new study takes a detailed look at how each of the Bible stories, beginning in the Old Testament, connects to the gospel and to God’s larger plan of redemption as it answers the question, "Where is Jesus?". Each child attending during the 2023-2024 school year will need to be registered even if he/she has attended in the past. To serve in KidsPointe during this school year, please contact Erin Wyman (erin@highpointeaustin.org).

Giving at High Pointe
God is generous, and so he calls us to be as well. What we do with what God has given us shows the world where our hearts are and helps proclaim the gospel. We want to glorify God in every area of our lives, including what we do with our finances. But as you may have noticed, we do not take up a collection on Sundays at High Pointe. Consequently, we’ve been receiving questions as to how to give. There are several ways you may give:
  1. Offering Boxes in Auditorium – You may place your offering in an offering box.
  2. Mail – You may mail your contribution to the church office.
  3. Text/Online – You may give by texting 84321 (it will require a first-time setup).
  4. Your Bank – You may give through your own bank via Bill Pay or ACH.

If you have any questions, go to this LINK. Our financial staff is also available to help or answer your questions. You may call the church office at 512-837-7725.

On-Call Pastor
To better care for you, High Pointe, we have an “on-call” pastor available for emergencies after office hours and on weekends. To reach the on-call pastor, call 512-837-7725, extension 1.
