2021 Challenge
On January
3rd, Pastor Jim challenged the body to choose Higher Ground for 2021. Each month there will be a goal set to work toward living on higher ground. For more details, click here. For the month of March, we are reading each day's corresponding Proverb together. The idea of higher ground comes from a hymn; to hear a beautiful rendition click here.

Learn About Lake Placid Baptist
New to August?
Welcome! It is a real joy for us to meet newcomers and to tell you about all the good things God is doing in our church family. For over thirty years now it has been our mission to "lead people in a growing relationship with Jesus Christ." That means that no matter where you've come from and where you are on your spiritual journey, we want to come alongside to inspire, equip and encourage you to live out a life that will bring glory to God and be a blessing to the world.
Donate to August Church
We believe that financial giving is a way God has called us to worship Him. Some churches tend to be shy in asking for donations to keep ministry going. We believe in absolute transparency with our finances, understanding that people in the past tend to second guess where their money goes when they give it to a church. We believe that having you see our spending will encourage you to give more, and make more of an impact in this world for the gospel.
Youth Ministry
We are a growing church, with tons of kids. We take the teaching of God's word and love to kids as importantly as we do for the adults in our church. Check out the links below to get more info about our offerings for kids in different stages of life.
Sunday Morning
Our Sunday morning services provide an opportunity to bring all of our Community Groups together and share in a time of celebration of what God is doing in our lives. Because each of our daily routines are so different, our Sunday services are a special time to bring us all together and tell stories and struggles to the entire August church so we can worship God and pray to Him for our communities.
Service Time: Sunday Mornings, at 9:00 am.
Location: 900 E 11th St, Austin, TX 78702 - GET DIRECTIONS
Living in Community
Our Community Groups are the heart of our church. We believe that if we are not demonstrating Christ's love in our most comfortable environment, it will be impossible to love God and others with our whole lives. Sincerity, openness and respect help lead our groups, along with leaders who have risen and been established by God through the elders of our church. We highly encourage everyone who calls August Church their home to be involved in a home group in their local neighborhood.

A place to contribute
We are passionate about showing you who Jesus is. Whether it is in our own neighborhood or across the globe, we can tangibly express God’s love for humanity through our outreach projects and mission trips. Join us as we extend our mission beyond our walls and share the love of Jesus in our local and global community. We are strategic about reaching the greater Austin area for Christ in a number of ways, and we've highlighted one of our ministries below.
We also feel it is important for our members to take their faith outside our church walls and to make an impact for Jesus Christ, not only in our community but around the world. God has called our church to serve the countries of Thailand and Cuba.

Looking for Ways to Serve?
We are always in need of great people to serve on Sundays. Since we only have one service, we understand that serving can be a big sacrifice to you and your family. We encourage every person that calls August Church their home to serve at least one Sunday a month.
We always need great people for our Youth Ministry, but there are also big needs in our Missions Team, Worship and Hospitality ministries. If you are interested in serving on a Sunday morning, please let us know!
August Kids
Each Sunday, you can check your child into our Youth Ministry. We want your kids to have an awesome time at church too, so we have some dedicated (and gifted) individuals who give their Sundays to pour into your kids!
Here's what a typical Sunday looks like:
Either a wristband will be filled out by parents or they will be asked to check-in on the computer and print out a name tag. A claim tag will then be given or printed for parents to present at check-out. Both formats will include your child’s name as well as information regarding specific allergies. From there you will walk them to their age-specific classroom.
