We believe the Christian life shapes every part of who we are - our loves, our thinking, our relationships, our work, and our worship. Spiritual formation is about being shaped over time in community, by grace, into people who love God completely and love our neighbors well.
At CTK, we seek to live this out in simple, steady rythms:
Worship - Gathering to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Belong - Life together in community with others Abide - Life rooted in Jesus Think - Renewing our minds through Scripture Pray - Dependent, Godward living Serve - Faithful presence in Vocation + Mission
Each Sunday, we gather to worship the Triune God through Scripture, prayer, singing, confession, preaching, and the Lord's Supper. Our worship is simple, historically rooted, and shaped by the Bible. We are driven by steady rhythms of grace that form us over time, and every Sunday is a celebration of the risen Christ.
We are a multi-generational church serving South Austin for over 25 years. Whether you are exploring Christianity, returning after time away, or looking for a church home, you belong here. We are building smaller, home-based communities across South Austin where people can share life, ask honest questions, and grow together. More details are coming soon.
Following Jesus shapes how live in the world. We seek to bless our neighbors, serve one another, and live faithfully in our daily vocations. As opportunities arise, both formal and informal, we invite everyone to participate.

Galatians is a short, fiery letter about freedom and where real change actually comes from. Written by an early Christian leader named Paul, the letter pushes back against the idea that people can fix themselves through rules, performance, or belonging to the "right" group. Instead, Paul argues that lasting transformation begins outside of us, and that faith is not about earning approval but receiving a new identity and way of life. Galatians challenges every system that says "try harder" and invites us into something different: a life shaped by grace rather than pressure, and belonging rooted in gift rather than achievement.
