Worship Pastor
Marcus Lee
Marcus leads our bands and songwriting collective, crafting worship that is both theologically deep and singable on a Sunday morning.
Youth Pastor
Jake Torres
Jake gives middle and high school students a place to belong, ask big questions, and encounter Jesus — usually with loud games involved.
Connections Director
Rachel Nguyen
Rachel helps every newcomer find their people — through small groups, serve teams, and the welcome coffee she insists is the best in Austin.
Kids Director
Emily Carter
Emily creates safe, joy-filled environments where kids learn the big story of Scripture — and where parents can worship with confidence.
Feel called to serve?
From the welcome team to the worship band, every Sunday is built by volunteers. We would love to help you find your spot.
