The Church at Highland Park
Church · Baptist
The Church at Highland Park is a Baptist congregation on Balcones Drive in northwest Austin, Texas, founded in 1952 and formerly named Highland Park Baptist Church. It describes itself as "a progressive, open-minded, and woman-led community dedicated to worshipping faithfully, growing spiritually and positively impacting others as servants of Jesus Christ," says it combines "historic Baptist principles and ancient forms of liturgical worship" following the lectionary and the Christian calendar, and records that in 1983 it was the first Baptist church in Texas to ordain a woman to the ministry. Congregational life is organised through elected service groups covering missions, Christian education, administration, outreach and communications, worship involvement, and family life.
