ESL at Great Hills

ABOUT

ESL at Great Hills offers a bridge from one culture to another! We currently have over 15 different languages represented in this program! Those who are new to the U.S., or even those who have even been here for a while, are invited to join us and learn the English language, American culture, how to study the Bible, and to make new friends. All faiths are welcome.

We offer different levels of instruction ranging from Beginner to Advanced English. Classes are offered in person only. Our class registration is closed for the Spring 2026 semester. Please click below to see a couple of other ESL options available in the Austin area.

If you're looking to volunteer at GHBC, ESL at Great Hills is a perfect place to start! We are currently in need of teachers, assistant teachers, and substitutes. You can register to help by clicking below. Please note that you do NOT need to know more than one language to help!

ESL Basic Workshop

Join us on May 15 and 16, from 8:30am to 3:30pm for a two-day English as a Second Language Basic Workshop. This two-day training will cover ESL ministry development, student placement, lesson building, teaching techniques, evangelism and more. Participants who complete the entire two-day workshop will also be awarded an ESL Basic Workshop Certificate from Send Relief with the National American Mission Board (NAMB). This is a wonderful opportunity for our church body to be further equipped in ministering to our neighbors from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds who are seeking to learn English. Please note that you do *not* need to be currently volunteering with ESL to sign up for this training. The registration fee is $25/person. Lunch will be available both days.
