FINDING HOME

IN CENTRAL AUSTIN

There’s something special about coming home.

Since 2016, Antioch Austin has been living a faith-filled adventure—one that started with a simple yes to plant a church in the heart of Austin. What started as a small group meeting in homes across Austin grew into our first church gatherings at Dobie Middle School in North Central Austin—and has since become a vibrant, Jesus-loving community passionate about seeing our city transformed.

But if you’ve been around for a while, you know—we’ve never had a permanent place in central Austin to call home.

Over the years, we’ve gathered in schools, met in neighborhoods across the city—north, south, and everywhere in between—shared spaces, and leaned into temporary rentals. But even in all the moving, the Lord’s covering was constant. Just a couple of years before COVID, we adopted a church in South Austin that had its own building—what we couldn’t have known then was that it would become a shelter in the storm. In 2020, when school districts paused outside gatherings, that building became a lifeline. It grounded us in an uncertain season and gave us roots when everything else felt up in the air.

But we always knew—that wasn’t the end of the story.

In only the kind of way God can orchestrate, He led us right back to where it all began. We sold our South Austin building and returned to our original neck of the woods—Central Austin. And in the divine timing of Heaven, a church that had faithfully served this city since the 1950s was preparing to sell its building. They were praying that the right church would come along to carry on the mission of God in that place.

And wouldn’t you know it? The Lord opened the door.
With the proceeds from the South building, we were able to purchase the new one debt-free—planted once again in the very community where we first started.

Talk about full circle.

Now, we're preparing to make this place home—not just with paint and signage and kids spaces—but spiritually. We believe this building is more than just a place to gather. It’s a haven for the city.

A place where people walk in and encounter peace.
A house of freedom and joy, where the hurting find healing and the weary find rest.
A home where people are clothed with dignity, welcomed into family, and empowered to live out their God-given purpose.
A space where the presence of God dwells, and lives are changed.

As Jesus said in Matthew 5:14–16 (The Message):

“You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world... By opening up to others, you’ll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.”

That’s the kind of house we want to be—one that shines bright in the city of Austin and draws people to the heart of the Father.

This is not the end of our story—it’s the next chapter. A full-circle moment that only God could write. And we’re so expectant for the journey ahead.

Let’s build this house together—right here at 6014 Cameron Rd, Austin, TX 78723.
A house of freedom. A haven for the city. A place of joy, dignity, and the presence of God.

Watch the video below to hear how God has led us to this area of Austin from the very beginning!

 

You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We’re going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don’t think I’m going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I’m putting you on a light stand. Now that I’ve put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you’ll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.”

Matthew 5:14-16 MSG
