International Student Ministry
Welcome to the USA and to Austin! We know it can be a very challenging experience to adjust to a new country and culture.
We offer some English opportunities for international students and scholars and their families in order to help you with this transition. All classes are free, though you may be required to purchase a textbook for some classes.
To get more information or enroll in a class, please send an e-mail to Mrs. Marcia at marcia@ulcaustin.com with your choices (class numbers). (See enrollment form at the bottom of this page.)

No Bible knowledge required to attend this class.

Classes are casual and fun and small. (4 – 7 people per American leader) Students should have at least a medium level of English speaking ability before enrolling in these groups.
Mommy & Me Play Time Class

Would you like to have a one-on-one English conversation partner? We have a limited number of American volunteers who are willing to be English conversation partners.
