Hill Country Bible Church Leander was planted by a core group of 47
families led by Pastor Peter Horn and began on Easter Sunday, April 8,
2007. We held our first services in the Jim Plain Elementary School. Then in
September of 2010, we relocated to our next location.
Each family who helped us get started made a significant commitment of
their time, talents, and earthly treasures. Together, we began to pursue our
vision of life-change through Jesus for every man, woman, and child.
Moving forward, that vision remains our guide as we seek to lead people
into the life-change of salvation and the life-change of transformation.
In April of 2021, Peter Horn passed away, and although the church deeply
mourned his loss, the church rallied together to continue pursuing the
vision. In August of 2021, the church body affirmed Conor O’Hearn, who
was already on staff, as the new Senior Pastor. On February 27, 2022, we
relocated again to our facility on San Gabriel Parkway where we put down
deep roots in our city. We invite you to join us in the journey.

Love God, Love People, Make Disciples

Life change through Jesus for every man, woman and child.

• SUBMISSIVE TO THE SCRIPTURES
  We allow the Scriptures to shape how we think and how we live. When
  cultural norms and personal values diverge from what scripture teaches, we
  choose to submit to the Scriptures, even when it’s unpopular.
• DEVOTED TO PRAYER
  We pray a lot, even when it’s inconvenient for our schedule, because we
  believe that prayer is our primary pathway to engage with the Holy Spirit
  who guides and directs us on a daily basis. Prayer fuels everything else we
  do.
• MISSIONALLY TENACIOUS
  We believe Jesus has placed our church in this time and place to work
  toward life change through Jesus for every man, woman, and child. We
  prioritize moving toward this mission over any individual strategy, event, or
  ministry.
• GOSPEL DRIVEN
  We take our identity as ambassadors of Christ seriously. We look for
  opportunities to verbally express the gospel in large group gatherings and
  in our personal relationships.
• COMMITTED SERVICE
  We commit significant time to service in the church and as the church in our
  broader community. Our leaders model a servant lifestyle and don’t ask
  anyone to do more than they themselves are doing.
• FINANCIALLY OBEDIENT
  We consistently ask God how He would have us give of our earthly wealth
  to invest in His Kingdom. That means we don’t shy away from talking about
  money or challenging ourselves to grow in the grace of giving.
• NEXT GENERATION DEVELOPMENT
  We raise up the next generation by developing them as leaders to take on
  real responsibility. Our planning, budget, and programming reflect this
  value.
• INTENTIONALLY MULTI-ETHNIC
  We seek to reach people and develop leaders of many ethnicities and
  cultures. Because our vision is for every man, woman, and child we aim to
  be a church that intentionally reflects the demographic of our city on the
  platform and in our church body.

In 2021, Leander, Texas, was named the fastest growing city in the U.S. The current population is just under 90,000, but our city is estimated to grow to a population of over 250,000 by 2037!
Bridget Brandt, president and CEO of the Leander Chamber of Commerce
and Visitors Center, stated in an interview with KVUE News, “This past year,
we’ve had 18% growth, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.”
Acts 17:26-27 says, “From one man he has made every nationality to live
over the whole earth and has determined their appointed times and the
boundaries of where they live. He did this so that they might seek God, and
perhaps they might reach out and find him, though he is not far from each
one of us.”
God has uniquely positioned North Way Bible Church in our
specific time and place so that we can help those in our community seek
God and find Him, making disciples and making an impact for generations
to come.
