About Us

Hill Country Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) was founded in 1996. We have been meeting at our current location off Hwy 46 since 2001. See our history below!

HCCC is a part of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)--a denomination known for its inclusive nature. Sometimes we are called "the bridge" church because we have members from many different backgrounds who join together in worship.

If you are looking for a church home or have questions about our church, please do not hesitate to call our church office, our pastor, or one of our members.

In 1995, then Area Minister Chuck Babcock cast a vision of a new Disciples congregation in the Bluebonnet Area. He formed a new church establishment committee, which was chaired by Paul Smith of Genesis Christian church. The Bulverde/Spring Branch area was selected as the target location because of the rapid growth and preferred demographics in that area. A call was extended to Rev. E. Ross Richardson in July of 1996. There were very few funds available through the area, and Rev. Richardson agreed to accept this call without a salary. He and his family arrived on site in August and the first Project Advisory Committee (PAC) meeting was held in that month. Paul Smith was elected PAC chair and Rev. Richardson suggested naming the new church Hill Country Christian Church.
