THE CITY's NEW HOME Part 2

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!
