2030 Vision Goals

Our 2030 Vision Narrative states:

By 2030, by God’s grace and power, we pray the following is true of us:

We are joyfully devoted disciples of Jesus, glorifying God together as one church through firmly established congregations who love one another, bless Austin, send to the nations, and pursue multigenerational kingdom impact.

Our church expresses a genuine zeal for God that overflows into people who abide in His Word, are faithful in prayer, passionate in worship, sacrificial in obedience, and radical in generosity. As a unified body of elders, deacons, and partners we are resilient in hope, cooperative in mission, and bonded in doctrine. Each of our congregations are healthy, significantly demonstrating our four loves. We are authentic, familial, and hospitable communities of discipleship, known for love and truth, where the skeptic is welcomed and the believer is challenged. We are welcoming witnesses for the gospel of the kingdom. We value consistent and intentional Christian friendships served by caring and loving shepherds. We believe that every person has a role to play and is being awakened and deployed into their callings as equipped ambassadors, whether in the church, city, nations, home, or workplace. We entrust real ministry to many, by equipping ordinary people to participate in extraordinary works through recruiting, developing, deploying, and supporting leaders. We are impacting the city through sharing the gospel, extending mercy, and redeeming vocation. Our passion remains to see unreached peoples reached with the gospel through sustained church- planting movements for the worship of God among all peoples. We have endeavored to invest in all these things with future generations in mind and the long-term work of God in Austin in our hearts, and a passion to steward faithfully all that God has entrusted to us for His kingdom causes.

As we pray and work toward this vision, our elders have identified several specific goals that we feel we need to pursue in order to become the church that God is calling us to be. Here is the full list of goals identified as of fall 2024.

Out of this full list, there are four vision goals that God is leading us to focus on first.
