Randy Phillips

Randy Phillips loves Jesus Christ and loves people! His grandfather and father were both pastors. His passion for ministry is multi-generational.

He graduated from Concordia University with a Business Degree and received his master’s degree from Dallas Theological Seminary.

In the early 2000s, Randy and his wife, Denise, planted a church with 80 wonderful members. After seven years of worshipping in a high school, the congregation purchased 68 acres in Southwest Austin and became LifeAustin.

The property now includes a 1000-seat sanctuary, a 1500-seat covered-roof amphitheater, an old-world chapel complete with a working bronze bell forged in Paris in 1729, and outdoor recreational opportunities including a dog park, disc-golf, sand volleyball, walking/running trails, and more.

Recently, LifeAustin launched LifeFamily, Randy’s vision for ten congregations, in ten years, reaching twenty thousand souls. LifeFamily now includes six different campuses throughout the Austin area and Marble Falls, Texas.

In addition to church planting, Randy is the founder of the international praise and worship group PHILLIPS, CRAIG & DEAN. The music group has recorded 25- #1 songs and received numerous Dove Awards. The “singing pastors” continue to tour and record albums.

Phillips and his wife, Denise, have 2 daughters, Garland Griedl and Lily Pearl Phillips and a beautiful grandson named Griff and granddaughter Vivian Denise.
