Our hearts are overflowing with the joy that it is to bring the life-changing love of Jesus into the sea of hurting humanity. We’re not satisfied with the reach of the shallow, we have a vision to go beyond the shoreline in to the deep blue ocean...
Roughly 15% of people in the Austin metroplex know about the beauty of God’s grace. While we are grateful for that 15%, it is obvious that our job is not done. We want to go deeper. The sea can be rough and unpredictable often leaving its victims desperate and lost. We are the hands and feet of Jesus, and together we make up the lighthouse that will help navigate the hurting back to shore. Jesus is challenging us to go to the highways and the byways, to step outside of our ordinary and see the one and bring them back to Him. Never in history has the world been THIS READY, and we are READY.
John 21:6 says “cast your net... and ye shall find.” When you truly encounter Jesus, it’s no longer possible to sit idly by. Let’s roll up our sleeves. Let’s cast our net. Let’s go into the blue.
FROM THE
SHORELINE
INTO BLUE
OCEANS
This year’s Into The Blue giving campaign is focused on investing in the next generation, both locally and globally. We are excited to continue making an impact by updating key spaces like our Children’s Building, and Chapel ensuring that they remain vibrant and welcoming environments where young people can encounter the love of Jesus. These renovations will help us provide the next generation with the tools and spaces they need to grow in their faith and build a foundation that will last a lifetime.
Globally, our focus on the next generation continues. Through our partnership with God Behind Bars, we are reaching incarcerated men and women with the message of God’s amazing grace, providing them with hope and equipping them to build a future in Christ for themselves and their families. With Shoreline Poland and Danita’s Children in Haiti, we are helping to expand their impact by supporting facility upgrades that will allow them to better reach and disciple young people in their city and beyond, creating spaces where the next generation can come to know Jesus.
The heart of this year’s Into the Blue Next Gen campaign is our desire to create life-giving, accessible, and engaging worship spaces for our children and our young people. These updates will not only benefit our congregation and improve our facilities, but they will also position us to better serve the next generation, ensuring that children and youth both here and around the world can grow in their relationship with Jesus. By investing in these spaces, we are building a future where the next generation is equipped to experience God’s grace and live out their purpose in Him.
