Faith United Methodist Church, 2701 South Lamar Blvd., Austin, Texas, began in 1951.  Our roots are deep in the Methodist movement begun by John Wesley in 18th century England. Wesley’s driving question was “how do we live a Christian life?”  Not so much what theological statements do we need to believe in, but what should we do.  What did Jesus do?  Do that.  Wesley’s methods for how to live a Christian life gave us our name.  We worship, pray, give, and serve, with unconditional love and grace.  Social holiness was his passion.  How can we actually help people?  For Wesley, and for us, faith is a verb.

We care deeply about welcoming people just as well as Jesus did.  All are welcome.  Join us for worship some Sunday and you’ll see just how true that is.

Our Senior Pastor  is Rev. David Gilliam.  Prior to coming to Faith in the summer of 2011 he served churches in Dallas, Corpus Christi, and Austin.  Our Community Minister, Mandi Richey, used to serve churches in Pittsburg, but found wisdom and moved to Austin with her husband and young son in the spring of 2011.  Our Director of Music, Rev. Judy Loehr, is a richly talented and experienced church musician as well as an ordained Methodist pastor. Our Generation Praise Band leader is Phil Jones, an Austin based Christian singer-songrwitrer and leader of SunriseMinistries.org.
