Welcome!
Our mission is to invite people into God’s larger story as we follow Christ together.
Worship God Together
Sundays | 9 & 11 AM
Sunday Study | 9:45 AM
At Westlake Hills Presbyterian Church, all are welcomed with warm smiles, generous hospitality, and the spirit of God’s love and grace. WHPC is a unique faith community in comparison to other churches in Austin. Here are just a few ways:
Our two worship services include both traditional hymns played on our organ, choir, and contemporary songs led by a praise band.
We encourage families to worship together, welcome fidgety children, and provide Worship Bags for children in the Narthex.
The Narthex is the area right outside the sanctuary doors.
Our worship also includes confession, passing of the peace, faith sharing with children, Bible-based sermon, and prayers of the people.
We celebrate the Lord’s Supper, or Communion, the first Sunday of every month.
We have a prayer team available for individual and private prayer at the close of our worship service.
We gather for fellowship after each service, usually accompanied by refreshments.
Our Vision
Transformed and empowered by the Holy Spirit, WHPC will be a Christ-centered community of faith that intentionally nurtures relationships with God, one another, our neighbors in Austin and the world.
Our Mission
To invite people into God's larger story as we follow Christ together.
Our History
Since our beginning as a two room school/church house in 1874, Westlake Hills Presbyterian Church has been a place of grace and influence in the Westlake Hills community and throughout the city of Austin, TX. As our community has faced an array of challenges, WHPC has been, and will continue to be, a place where our own church family and our family throughout the community can find hope and help. We are proud and grateful to partner with, and serve alongside, some amazing organizations who are sharing the love of Christ by providing real solutions to homelessness, poverty, hunger and human trafficking in our community and around the world. The WHPC family is a mix of young, old, working, retired, Republicans, Democrats, activists, contemplative types, life-long Austinites and transplants from all over the world, business owners and those on supplemental food assistance—all part of God’s amazing story in this place we call home.
