The Rev. Christine Brunson
Vicar for Church of the Cross

“Whether you’ve been part of a church your whole life or you’re simply looking for a place to catch your breath and belong, I’m so glad you found us. My calling as a priest is simple: to meet you exactly as you are, where you are, and to walk alongside you through both the valleys and the mountains of this life. Here in Lakeway, Bee Cave, and across Lake Travis, we’re building a community rooted in real grace, honest questions, and Texas-sized hospitality—and there is always room for you here. Come pull up a chair with us this Sunday!”
