Resurrection Church of Buda

“Is this church new?” someone might ask, gazing at the Resurrection Church of Buda. While the Resurrection Church of Buda itself isn’t old, its story is deeply rooted in Austin’s history. This congregation, known for its warmth and inclusivity, found its beginning in the heart of South Austin. In 2015, drawn by a sense of calling, a group began meeting, not in a traditional church building, but in homes and parks, building a community of faith. The Resurrection Church of Buda they envisioned was a place where tradition met a modern, open-minded approach. Think “low-key high church” – a place for quiet reverence alongside lively celebrations. They embraced liturgy and ritual but weren’t afraid to challenge norms, especially when it came to welcoming those often marginalized. This inclusive spirit even led them on a journey of self-discovery, ultimately making the difficult decision to disaffiliate from their original denomination. The decision stemmed not from a desire to be “edgy” but from a deep commitment to listening to the most vulnerable voices within their community. The Resurrection Church of Buda stands as a testament to the evolving nature of faith, proving that sometimes, the most profound journeys begin not with a grand proclamation, but with a simple invitation to gather and grow together.
