"And he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them. While he blessed them, he parted from them and was carried up into heaven. And they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in the temple blessing God." (Luke 24:50-53 ESV)

Joyfully Devoted

God is bringing a whole new generation of people to our doorsteps, and we want to be a people who positively impact the city of Austin for next decade and beyond. So what does it mean for us to commit to the adventure God has for our church as we, a body of believers unified by love and a shared vision, pursue God with everything we have?

Our 2030 vision, Joyfully Devoted, was prayerfully and intentionally created to give us direction and help us prioritize our resources as we pursue gospel-centered, hope-filled ministry and mission. This vision doesn’t demand we start from scratch and build something new. It’s simply a continuation of what has fueled our church for the past 20 years—refocusing and reemphasizing what The Austin Stone has always sought to be.

Joyfully Devoted Series Guide

We’ve created a guide to help you imagine what Austin might look like in the future if we begin to embrace this vision He’s given us now. This isn't a tactical manual; it won’t unpack every step of how you’ll live out the Joyfully Devoted vision in your life. But it will introduce you to some ways we believe God is calling us to be faithful, joyful disciples over the next seven years and beyond.
