The Plan
Situation:
Children make up almost 40% of our weekend attendance, with over 800 young lives each week hearing about the love of Christ in language they can understand. Currently, all permanent and temporary facilities are filled to capacity. This is an amazing testimony to what God is doing and will do as we follow His desire to see one life at a time changed among the children of Austin.
Solution:
We will build indoor and outdoor facilities to inspire our children and young families to grow a personal relationship with Christ by tripling children’s ministry space in a new dedicated building.
Situation:
As we reach out to more families in our community, we are limited in our spaces to hold community events. God is a relational being and the creator of community. He draws individuals into relationship with Himself: Holy community. In line with that relational character He desires His people to be in community with one another.
Believers display the love, joy, and grace of God to one another in community, building relationships which foster faith's growth and maturity. Beyond that, scripture is clear that loving, joyful, gracious community shows God's true character to the unbelieving world. (John 13:35)
Solution:
- Expanded meeting places for ministry and fellowship.
- Experience outdoor facilities for concerts, baptism, and community events.
- Expanded bookstore, café and outdoor meeting spaces to meet the need of our growing LHC community.
Situation:
God does incredible things in the lives of people at LHC on Sunday mornings downtown and He will continue to change the landscape of downtown Austin through the ministry of LHC downtown. A huge part of God's continued revival of downtown will be rooted in the idea that ministry is a week long endeavor. True devotion and spiritual is a takes regular daily investment. This is nowhere more evident than in the lives of college students and young professionals of our cities who thrive in community and the needy who receive food, hope and truth from the ministries of LHC.
Week long facilities are the key to taking these great things of our church and making them Greater Things. (Hebrews 13:16)?
Solution:
- Invest in a long term home for LHC Downtown.
- Downtown ministry space for college and singles.
- Expanded outreach and missions.
