Our Story

Breakaway Church’s story began in 2009 when Hill Country Bible Church Pflugerville—now Parkway Bible Church—planted a new church in the Wells Branch community. Through that church-planting legacy, we are a “granddaughter” church of Hill Country Bible Church in North Austin and part of the Association of Hill Country Churches—a relational collaboration of evangelistic Bible churches committed to making disciples, planting churches, and partnering with like-minded ministries.

Over the years, God has grown our church—not only in number, but also in our commitment to make disciples and multiply His Church. We helped plant Eastside Community Church, sent missionaries across the globe, invested in local ministry, and walked alongside individuals and families as they came to know Jesus and grew in their faith.

In July 2021, a donor gave the church 4.38 acres of land in the Breakaway neighborhood of Cedar Park. We recognized the gift as God’s clear provision for our future and began praying about how He might use us to reach this growing community. After years of prayer, planning, generosity, and hard work, our permanent church home opened in 2026—and Wells Branch Community Church officially became Breakaway Church.

Although our name and location have changed, our foundation remains the same. We are still a non-denominational, Bible-teaching church committed to helping people know Jesus, grow in their faith, and make disciples. Our new building is not the culmination of our story; it is a tool God has entrusted to us for the next chapter of it.

For more than 16 years, God has faithfully led this church through every season. As Breakaway Church, we look ahead with gratitude and expectation, ready to continue the mission He has given us: Love God. Love People. Make Disciples.

Our Mission

Christians are called by God to love Him, love people, and make disciples which is in alignment with Jesus' Great Commandment and Great Commission.

The Great Commandment

And He said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (Matthew 22:37-40) 


The Great Commission

And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18-20)

Our Vision

 Our vision is that every man, woman, and child in Greater Austin has the opportunity to experience the life-changing reality of Jesus Christ. 

We believe this will happen as the gospel is shared through the lives and lips of people from Breakaway Church and through our partnerships with other like-minded churches in the Association of Hill Country Churches and beyond. 

We believe that when 10% of a city is engaged in a spiritually vibrant church, that city will experience profound transformation. In the Greater Austin area, that means reaching approximately 250,000 people. 

How will250,000? Our vision is for the Greater Austin area to see this reality in our lifetime—through the multiplication of churches and the intentional sharing of the gospel by every believer. 

Wells Branch Community Church, now Breakaway Church, was planted in 2009 by Hill Country Bible Church Pflugerville, which was planted in 2000 by Hill Country Bible Church Austin. 

Over the years, the Association of Hill Country Churches has planted over 40 churches in the Greater Austin area and beyond, while continuing to train leaders to plant even more churches. 

At Breakaway Church, we are committed to continuing this legacy of church planting. In 2017, we planted Eastside Community Church, which in turn planted Refuge Community Church in 2019. In 2022, we sent a planter out who planted Taylor Bible Church 2023. Our desire is to replant Wells Branch Community Church some time after the Breakaway Church launch. 

We will continue to seek God’s guidance, trusting that He will reveal church planting opportunities and kingdom-building work He has for us in the future, as we strive to impact lives and transform our city for His glory.
