Trinity Fellowship Church, Amarillo, TX
Austin Price, Class of 2013, hosts a service at Trinity Fellowship Church in Amarillo, Texas.
After graduating from Highlands College in 2013 and completing his third-year internship with the Auburn campus of Church of the Highlands, Austin Price was offered a position at Trinity Fellowship Church in Amarillo, Texas. Twelve years later, he has served as Youth Pastor, Pastor of Community Life, and now Associate Campus Pastor.
“It has been one of the best decisions of my life,” Austin said. “I have had the privilege of helping our church grow in health by learning how to carry and commit to the vision and values of our house through working with staff, leaders, and members.”
In his current role, Austin is actively implementing clear discipleship steps for people to take as they follow Jesus. As part of this strategy, he has launched, updated, and helped facilitate new classes about the Holy Spirit and the freedom and healing that come from Jesus. He has also led church teams through strategic planning processes that have helped each department expand and grow with clear goals.
“Honestly, I am thankful that I am entrusted to help see our staff and leaders pursue health by walking and living in the vision, values, and strategy of this house, knowing that I am a part of building a bridge for future generations,” he said. “This process has yielded gains in team unity and action, including new small group initiatives and volunteer leader pipelines for development.”

Austin believes that Highlands College prepared him spiritually, biblically, and relationally for the work he is doing today.
“I was equipped to feel confident in the giftings and callings God has placed within me. I was engulfed in the spiritual rhythms and stretched in knowledge of scripture. Ultimately, I learned how to steward the most important relationship I have been given, my relationship with Jesus,” he shared.
That foundation is evident in the fruit he now witnesses in Amarillo. People are hearing God for the first time, giving their lives to Jesus, being healed spiritually, physically, and emotionally, being baptized and filled with the Holy Spirit, and having marriages restored. In 2025 alone, more than 650 people were water baptized at the Hollywood Road campus. For five years, Austin has also seen God open doors for the Gospel in Amarillo schools.
“We are discipling and resourcing students to lead groups for their peers on high school and middle school campuses across our city and area,” Austin said. “Student-led groups meet at each public high school campus, reaching thousands every week. We are hosting worship on school campuses because we are being welcomed there. Students are being saved and filled with the Spirit during lunch breaks. They are winning their parents to Jesus and baptizing them!”
In addition, the church recently began hosting gatherings for youth pastors in the area and is seeing radical unity as these leaders align around the vision of reaching lost youth for Jesus.
At the end of each month, The Neighborhood, a school group ministry, will gather for the sole purpose of inviting their peers to hear the Gospel, receive salvation, get water baptized, and get plugged into the local church. Austin is expecting 1,000 students to show up due to the seed other youth have been sowing in schools.
“The local church is the hope of the world, and Jesus is still transforming lives. I came into Highlands College knowing all I wanted to do was love God and serve His Church, and I graduated with more direction and confidence in how to do that for a long time.”
Reflecting on his ministry journey, Austin shared, “I aim to serve my leaders in any way possible to make what God has called them to do a little easier and more enjoyable. I love God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. I believe in His Bride and want to do my part in helping her be presented to Him one day as spotless and without wrinkle. If Jesus died for her, I can live for her.”
Join us in prayer for Austin and Trinity Fellowship Church in Amarillo, for continued effectiveness in making disciples.
