Hill House Students

Our Purpose

Hill House exists to equip students and faculty to integrate their faith in academia, the workplace, and the community. We do this by:

1. Nurturing Christian identity, wisdom, and character
2. Engaging contemporary questions and culture with the riches of the Bible and the Christian intellectual tradition
3. Exploring the call to follow Jesus in every area of life and society

 

Our Beliefs

Hill House affirms and holds fast to the fundamental Christian beliefs found in Scripture and articulated succinctly in the Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds. We are tethered to historic, traditional, orthodox doctrine and teaching, as well as to the heritage of the Protestant Reformation.

 

At the same time, Hill House is a place of diverse Christian thought. In our community, you’ll find Presbyterians, Anglicans, Roman Catholics, Baptists, Methodists, non-denominational Protestants, and more. We are, however, committed to the shared pursuit of Christian truth found and embodied in Jesus Christ.

In keeping with its Christian commitment, Hill House strives to enlarge and extend conversations about God, faith, morality, meaning, and truth rather than narrow or end them. We gladly listen to and learn from those who may not share our convictions. While we have no official affiliation with the University of Texas, Hill House supports higher education, affirms critical thinking, strives to work collaboratively with UT, and seeks to promote and contribute to the intellectual life of the university community.
