Greetings from Austin, TX! We are so grateful for the chance to share all that God has been doing this year in our church! Right from the start of 2025, we have experienced a fresh wave of revival! First-time visitors were not only getting powerfully saved, but genuinely transformed. Many began attending faithfully, rooting themselves in the church, and wanting to serve and take part in the larger vision of reaching our community for Christ. It has become clear that God is doing something deep and lasting in their lives, as we have seen them growing spiritually and taking part in discipleship.
The community aspect of the church has been a highlight this year. We’ve seen iron sharpening iron as we walk closely with new believers. Through fellowship, encouragement, and healthy challenge, we’ve watched them catch the vision and realize that we are a part of something bigger than us. They’ve begun to understand that they aren’t only to attend services, but that they have a role in actively helping to build God’s Kingdom in the local church.
Discipleship has been on full display. New converts have made commitments, taken stands, and stepped into obedience. In turn, their personal relationships with Christ have grown stronger and deeper. This focus has been central in helping them establish a firm foundation. God has honored these decisions and many of these new converts have experienced breakthroughs in their lives.
One of the most exciting results of their faithfulness came during our Fall Fest/Trunk-or-Treat outreach this November. It was a tremendous success, with more than 500 visitors, making it our largest event turnout yet! This provided many opportunities to personally connect and share the Gospel with families and individuals, making a strong and lasting impression on our local community. What made this even more special was seeing these same new converts, who were just beginning their journey with us at the start of the year, now stepping up, serving, and helping make the entire event possible. Watching their transformation come full circle has been a reminder of God’s grace and power at work in our church.God is good!
We are excited for all that He has in store for 2026; not only for our church here in North Austin, but for our daughter churches as well.
