Austin Telugu Christian Fellowship (ATCF) is an independent small bible study group. Even before its pre-existence, few families gathered in and around Austin area for a time of bible study and prayer. In 2007 these cluster of families (from united Andhra Pradesh) voluntarily came together and agreed to meet once a month for a time of worship, and to study the Word of GOD together, and to pray for each other's needs. Over the years these monthly gatherings not only helped families grow closer to GOD, but also helped establish loving & lasting relationships between families. Since the inception, the group studied, reflected on and applied many important spiritual life transforming truths to our lives. Besides being spiritually nourished, many elders or family members visiting us from abroad feel a sense of belonging like they would feel back home in India.
