We are an interdenominational, Protestant congregation. Our 680 members reside in the Horseshoe Bay community and Highland Lakes area. The parishioners are very homogeneous in most respects. For instance, most are retired from professional careers. The most significant diversity among parishioners is their background and experience among numerous religious traditions present in America today (e.g., Methodist, Baptist, Disciples of Christ, Presbyterian, Bible Church, etc.).
Newcomers to the area choose our church to join a community of worshipers and to enjoy the unique camaraderie they find among the members. There are many activities within the church and there are volunteer opportunities to serve the church and the over twenty-five agencies we support.
Mission Statement: The Church at Horseshoe Bay exists to be the arms of Christ in our time and place by sharing the Gospel in our community and the wider world with love and compassion.
Values Statement: The center piece of our Values is that Jesus Christ is our Lord. We acknowledge that God, revealed to us in Jesus, is our Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer. We believe that we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to grow in our understanding of God as we strive for a Christ-like maturity in our faith development.
In pursuing its Mission and Vision, The Church at Horseshoe Bay will continue to emphasize the following Values which have guided the Congregation throughout its history:
Diversity, not uniformity;
Generosity, not greed;
Inclusion, not exclusion;
Grace, not guilt;
Joy, not judgment; and
Ecumenical, not denominational.
Vision Statement: The Church at Horseshoe Bay will:
Be a church of choice for those residing in the Highland Lakes area;
Offer a worship and music ministry which optimally utilizes the talents and gifts of participants to inspire our Congregation in meaningful worship;
Become a dollar-for-dollar Congregation, spending as much sharing with and caring for others as we spend on ourselves.
Provide facilities to support our growth; and
in worship;
in Christian education;
in fellowship;
in volunteers; and
in staff.
Provide adequate budget to pay for new ministry initiatives
