Hill Country Bible Church began on October 23, 1985, when seventeen people met together in a home to discuss the possibility of starting a new church in Northwest Austin. Most of those present were attending a church in the area but sensed a need for a more balanced ministry. After consultation with the elders of that church, it became clear that this group should seek fulfillment of their ministry objectives in another church. So out of that early meeting the vision for what has become Hill Country Bible Church NW was formed.

Attendees of the first meeting were all intent on establishing a church with a "balanced ministry," one that would effectively minister to every part of the family of God. The consensus of the group was that the church use the best of both traditional and innovative approaches to ministry and outreach. This initial meeting was concluded with a study of scriptures relating to the New Testament Church, a moving time of prayer, and a bonding of relationships. The group voted unanimously to move forward with the plans for the new church. God tells us if we will be obedient and faithful to Him, He will bless us and draw near. That is exactly what has happened at Hill Country Bible Church. Since that early meeting, God has worked in miraculous ways to move His ministry forward! We give Him all the glory!
