THE VISION ENTRUSTED TO US: God is Doing a New Thing Here and Now
We are called to be a movement that sees Austin, Texas saturated with the gospel by developing disciplers so that the emerging generations will be captivated by Jesus. Our physical space is more than just a building; it is a sacred space where memories are made, relationships are forged, and lives are transformed. God is bringing us more families with children and expanding our multi-generational makeup. He is leading us into the next chapter to see this vision become a reality. We believe God is leading us to:
- Steward the Resources He’s Provided
- Reallocating our abundant square footage will significantly reduce the strain of facility expenses on our budget and allow appropriate funds to be directed to ministries, rather than excessive costs of upkeep.
- Redesigning our outdated children’s ministry space will provide a modern and engaging environment to captivate children and unite young families.
- Utilize our Facility to Create Generational Connections
- At AOC, we value the wisdom of our previous generations. Redesigning our sanctuary building will put all generations under one roof and create an interactive environment for multi-generational fellowship.
- Redesigning our entrance will create a focal point for hospitality and welcoming visitors.
- Utilize Our Facility to Intentionally Invest Into the Emerging Generations
- Every generation at AOC is responsible for guiding the next generation to meet, know, and follow Jesus. Bringing our children under that same roof as our other generations will foster intentional multi-generational discipleship.
- Utilize Our Facility to Partner with Other Ministries
- Repurposing our children’s and administration buildings for outside ministries and nonprofits will help offset our facility expenses and magnify the reach of our collective mission.
Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, Do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
-Isaiah 43:19
-Isaiah 43:19
Raising $15 million between April 1, 2024—April 1, 2027, will accomplish the above objectives and advance our discipleship mission. Together, we are not just remodeling a building; we are stewarding a legacy. You are invited to be part of a move of God to impact tomorrow, today. Prayerfully consider what God is calling you to bring.

Campaign update
The "Perhaps" campaign is well under way and we are grateful for the Lord's provision!
As of today, our pledge total is $4.1 million. We have received $1,840,504 thus far and have spent $1,247,834 of that amount for the air conditioning and control project. We have $592,670 cash on hand before we will need to utilize the bridge loan.
We are grateful for God's provision and his move of grace in our lives. We as an elder board want to express our thanks to those of you who have responded to God's invitation to be part of this movement.
If you have yet to join us in the campaign, we would love to have you consider joining. Also, if you have pledged an amount towards the campaign, the sooner we are able to receive those funds would mean the less interest that we would have to potentially pay.
Let's pray and see what our God will do!
Perhaps the Lord will!
