Our Story & Leadership
We are a community rooted in the ancient Gospel, committed to modern Austin, and dedicated to walking together in grace and truth.
A church planted with one simple vision: Grace for Austin.
Grace & Peace began in 2018 in a South Austin living room when eight families gathered to ask: *What if church wasn’t an institution to attend, but a family where people could belong before they had everything figured out?*
Today, across two vibrant campuses, we remain committed to that same simple heartbeat: uncompromised biblical truth delivered with deep cultural empathy, joyful hospitality, and authentic relationships.
The four convictions that shape our family.
These aren't slogans on a wall; they are the daily habits we cultivate together.
Grace Over Performance
God’s acceptance is a gift in Christ, not a paycheck we earn. We welcome the weary, the messy, and the seeking.
Scripture Anchored
We teach through the Bible verse-by-verse, believing God’s Word is the ultimate authority for truth, hope, and life.
Table Fellowship
Spiritual formation happens around shared food, honest tears, and mutual prayer. We do life together in living rooms.
City Blessing
We seek the welfare and peace of Austin by serving the vulnerable, feeding the hungry, and fostering artistic beauty.
Meet our pastors and ministry leaders.
