We’re building a community of inclusive, open-minded followers of Jesus on campus in Austin.

Are you a college student in Austin?

Whenever we get together,

you’re invited

    Sunday Service & Dinner

    Sundays, 6:30pm to 8pm

    We gather every Sunday of the semester for worship and a free dinner, open to all college students in Austin. We share Bible passages, sing hymns and modern worship songs, and share Holy Communion. Most weeks our meal is provided by a local family, which is a great way to feel a little more at home.

    Bible Study

    Fall 2025 time and location TBA!

    Start your day by exploring a short Bible passage together. This student-led group meets once a week to study and reflect on God’s word. No experts here, just curious minds and hearts. 

  • A logo featuring a blue plus sign in the center, surrounded by alternating red and light blue triangles in a circular pattern.

    Centered

    Wednesdays, 6:30pm to 8pm

    Centered is our small group getting deeply rooted in love with God and one another, so that we grow look, act, and love more like Jesus. We share a meal and discuss questions about God, belonging, and living a meaningful life; and support each other in committing to intentionally follow Jesus and his way of love. Everyone is invited, whether you’re an ESC regular or not!

We do these other things too.

Your home away from home

The ESC is open 24/7 for our members to study, relax, and get a snack. After you’ve come to a few events to see how it feels, talk to one of our leaders to learn more about how to join.

Having fun together

We have regular fun events to help you feel connected and grounded in the busy world of UT. College is about more than just class and homework! Join our GroupMe and sign up for our newsletter (link below) to keep up with everything that’s going on.

Getting guidance

Life in college can be confusing. Our staff are always happy to talk with you about what’s going on, whether it’s something happy or something hard. Drop by the office or make an appointment with Fr. Noah.
