What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? ...Micah 6:8

You should love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself. ...Luke 10:27

Trusting in God's grace and power, and having chosen to follow Jesus of Nazareth, we are joined together as the Shepherd of the Hills Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) of Austin, Texas.

We are called to be servants in the world, to do the work of reconciliation; to stand for peace and justice; and to bring relief from hunger, poverty, and all conditions which jeopardize the safety, dignity, and well-being of our brothers and sisters in the human family.

We rejoice in the unity of the church and in the diversity of its members. We affirm that men and women of all races, ages, vocations, and points of view comprise together the body of Christ.

We pledge ourselves to mutual support and encouragement, and to the nurture and renewal of the entire Christian community.

We resolve to place obedient discipleship above our concerns for comfort and security in whatever challenges life sets before us, seeking prayerful guidance in these matters through a continuing examination of our witness and mission.
