Westlake Hills Presbyterian Church is a Christian Church.
This means that we hold to the core beliefs of the Christian faith:
We believe in the triune, sovereign God. We believe in the Father Creator of the universe; in Jesus Christ who was God on earth in human form, who died, and was raised from the dead. We believe in the Holy Spirit who is God's presence in us and with us. We believe that the Bible is the authority for our faith and life.
Our church is a member of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). Being Presbyterian means that we follow a representative form of church government. We see ourselves as part of the larger Christian community which extends through the world.
We believe God takes the initiative to draw each of us into a close, fulfilling personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. We believe God gifts us and calls us to active participation in a local church.
We invite you to join us in exploring God’s call to you.

Westlake Hills Presbyterian Church has a long and rich history in the Eanes community, beginning in 1874 in a one-room log cabin that was the first Eanes school during the week and a church on Sundays. The congregation outgrew two previous physical facilities and moved to its present location in 1985.
The real spirit of Westlake Hills Prebyterian Church, though, lies not in the building complex, but in its members and pastoral leadership. We strive to grow, not just in numbers, but in quality of faith.
We are an inter-generational community of faith bound by our history, joined in our commitment to Jesus Christ, led to be the love of Christ on earth to our neighbors both in Austin and around the world, and challenged to grow in faith as we are led by the Spirit into the next exciting chapter of our church's life.
