High Pointe Baptist Church Weekender

Pastors, Seminary Students, and Church Leaders, we are excited to announce our next 9Marks Weekender in Austin, TX!

Check-in will begin at 4:00 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 19 and the Weekender will officially begin at 4:30 p.m. Please keep traffic in mind when making travel plans and arrangements. Participants benefit the most by attending all sessions (Thursday evening through Sunday evening), so please make plans to attend the entire Weekender. We should end around 7:00pm on Sunday night.

If you have any questions please email Weekender@highpointeaustin.org

Why attend a Weekender?

We encourage pastors and church leaders to attend because, just as every Timothy needs a Paul, so every church needs a model. “Brethren, join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the pattern you have in us. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you” (Phil 3:17; 4:9).

You may not implement or even agree with every last thing you see during your visit, but having this biblical model can help develop a more directed movement in the way you serve and lead in your local body.

Then again, maybe you know where to go, but feel clueless about how to get there: “I know I want elders, but what do they do when they meet? I know I need to preach, but how do I go about preparing sermons week in and week out? I know the budget needs work, but I’m no accountant.” The goal of a 9Marks Weekender is to provide an environment in which leaders can observe and discuss the biblical and practical dynamics of nurturing love and holiness in a local church.

Please note: Those who attend the Weekender will receive anywhere from 12 to 20 free books. So make sure to leave some extra room in your suitcase!
