With our new home at Baker school in place we are now able to order equipment to run our services. Audio, Video, Hospitality, Children's ministry, and nursery items all need to be selected, ordered, organized and prepared for setup on a weekly basis.
One of the things that is such a God-thing is that the school allowed us to use 200 of their chairs which saves us roughly $10,000. The administration team also provided us with space to store our gear on a weekly basis which means that we are able to do without the customary trailer many church-plants have to deal with. Our church-plant in Round Rock had to spend $17,000 on their two trailers and that was after receiving a $6,000 credit for giving an old trailer to Church On Wheels. A normal and necessary expense for a mobile church, but thanks to God not one we will have to incur.
We are so blessed to be located right in the heart of the city and are excited to see what God will do through this new church. Tomorrow, July 27th we will be in the building for the first time to pray in the different rooms and to strategize setup, signage and traffic flow for our services.
Next Sunday, August 3rd we will be soft-launching our services. I am excited to see what it will be like to run our first actual service in Downtown Austin. Pray for us please!

THE CITY's NEW HOME Part 1
Thank you so much to all of you who have been praying for our church. We just confirmed a location for our new church.
We will be meeting on Sunday mornings at Baker School, which is located at 39th and Guadalupe in Central Austin. The location could not be any better and the facilities are wonderful.The school was built in 1911 and is a great historical building. It no longer houses a school but instead is home to the District Offices of Austin ISD.
Connecting at Central Christian Church
Thank you to all of you guys at Central. It was great to see your smiling faces and to reconnect with so many of you. Many of you came up to tell me that you are praying for us - I so appreciate it! I believe more than ever that we are in desperate need for the prayers of God's people so He can be glorified through our work in Austin.
Thank you so much to Chris and Dennis for hosting us the whole time - your house and family felt like home and we love you! Garrett - when are you coming out to check out UT?
Please keep on praying for us as we are entering the launch phase of church-planting!
