TRULIFE
This is the connection place for High School students at Hill Country Bible Round Rock. High School is the time when students start to find their own identity as they taste new freedoms in their search for "true life." We believe that true life is found in the person of Jesus Christ. Where things like popularity, accomplishments, and material possessions seem to satisfy temporarily, we believe that only Jesus can satisfy the deepest cravings of our souls to be loved unconditionally and have a purpose and belief in something bigger than ourselves. We want to help high school students experience the life-changing reality of Jesus Christ by helping them and their families put Jesus Christ at the center of everything they do.
Our aim is to lead students to Believe in Jesus, Become like Jesus, Serve Jesus, and Share Jesus. We want to do this in a way that is relevant, connects students relationally, and puts the focus on Jesus. The Trulife environment consists of hang out time, small groups, and a worship time.

When & Where Do We Meet?:
Trulife takes place on Sundays from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM in The Zone at the YMCA. You may be wondering what is available for High School on Sunday mornings: We believe so much in getting students involved in serving that we have teams of high school students that serve in children's ministry, middle school ministry, greeters ministry, etc. Students who want to get involved with serving, email us at .
What is a ‘win’ for us?
Individually: We want to see students experience a relationship with Jesus Christ that is constantly growing and maturing. This includes students owning their relationship with Christ, nurturing that relationship through reading the Bible, spending time in prayer, worshiping Him with their whole hearts, and having a desire to obey Him. This also includes students sharing the Gospel with others and developing a servant attitude that demonstrates the love God has for them and for others.
Corporately: We desire our group to have an impact on students and families in the Round Rock area who need to hear the Gospel message and need to experience the love of God in their lives. Our goal is to make new disciples, but also to disciple those who are already followers of Christ. We want to see our group corporately worship and serve others in such a way that we are a blessing to the city of Round Rock and a light to the world around us.
