Missions

Our mission is to 'Love God, Love Everybody' in Austin and around the world.

We achieve this by wholeheartedly engaging with others, drawing inspiration from the teachings of Jesus. Much like Jesus, our focus is on listening to people and meeting them right where they are. We inspire one another to venture beyond our comfort zones, tackling some of the most urgent challenges in our world today.
