About

Creating Inclusive Communities Where Everyone Thrives

At Interfaith Action of Central Texas (iACT), we are committed to fostering meaningful connections and understanding among the diverse faith communities of Central Texas. We believe that bridging faith divides is not merely a kind gesture—it is crucial for the well-being of our community and the future of our children. While interfaith conflict poses a global challenge, we know that real change begins locally.

The mission of “cultivating peace and respect” cannot rest solely in the hands of diplomats or dignitaries—it is a responsibility we all share. We, as individuals of faith and goodwill, must take an active role in building a more inclusive and harmonious world.

We invite everyone—whether you identify as Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Baha’i, Unitarian, secular, or a spiritual seeker—to join us in this vital work. Your voice, your talents, and your dedication are valued and needed in the iACT community.

At iACT, we believe that the journey toward peace and mutual respect starts with each of us. Together, we can embody the “i” in iACT, proving that individual actions can create meaningful change. Through interfaith dialogue, service initiatives, and celebratory events, we work hand-in-hand to build a stronger, more compassionate community.

If you’re seeking a faith community in the Austin area, we encourage you to explore our “Your Community Guide” section. There, you can find information on faith-based organizations and connect with groups representing a variety of traditions. Join us as we work together to create a future rooted in understanding, peace, and respect.
