High Pointe Baptist Church
High Pointe is an autonomous or self-governing fellowship of believers in Austin, Texas. We believe that each faithful local church is a manifestation of the heavenly assembly or church that presently gathers in the presence of God and that we will one day gather in the presence of God with all the saints. We believe that nothing other than Scripture and Christ himself govern the affairs of a local church. We understand that the congregation as a whole bears final responsibility on earth to guard the church’s doctrine, select the church’s leaders, exercise church discipline, and govern church membership.
Nevertheless, we believe it is good and God-glorifying to join with other gospel churches to advance the kingdom of God. In an effort to cooperate with other churches of like mind in advancing God’s kingdom, we are in friendly cooperation with the Southern Baptist Convention, the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention and the Austin Baptist Association.
As for our ministry vision and philosophy, we gladly identify with ministries such as 9Marks, Desiring God and The Gospel Coalition.
The Southern Baptist Convention
The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) is a fellowship of Baptist churches who freely cooperate with one another through state fellowships of Southern Baptist churches called ‘state conventions’ and county-sized fellowships of Southern Baptist churches called ‘associations.’ Through the cooperation of over 40,000 churches, the Southern Baptist Convention is able to support the cause of world missions and seminary education.
