As our church has grown over the years, we have continuously sought bigger spaces to meet. The commercial renting costs in Austin and surrounding areas have risen exponentially as the city is getting bigger and more populous with each passing day. The average commercial rent based on the 60 locations that were considered was around $6500 a month. The availability of rentable locations to worship on Sundays and conduct its ministries through the week, is severely limited. Additionally, accommodating a growing church entails certain challenges. Setting up 200 chairs, the stage and media equipment on a weekly basis takes a lot of effort on the part of our volunteers. After the church service is over, tearing down takes equal time and effort.

We are blessed with over 50 children in our Children’s Ministry. Creating a conducive environment to teach the Word of God is a mammoth feat for our Sunday school teachers who use temporary classrooms to teach the kids who range in age from toddlers to high school.
Searching for new locations every year after the lease is up is fairly tedious and requires further time, effort and commitment. Our ability to conduct ministries in a structured and efficient way is hindered due to the unavailability of a permanent facility. We get by with meeting in houses and places we can find, but it takes its toll and leaves a lot to be desired.
