One of our staff members (Ashleigh) did announcements this morning with a baby on her hip!
Kids are not an annoyance or a hindrance in a church gathering, they are a part of the community just like everyone else 🙌

A church in Austin where anyone has a seat at Jesus’ table. Sundays | 9:30AM and 11:30AM CT | live on FB & YT
- Many Christians have become obsessed with deciding who is in and who is out—who has a seat at the table and who does not. But the Christian table doesn’t belong to us. This is Jesus’ table, not ours. Our job is simply to make sure that everyone who wants a seat has one.
- We had such a blast hosting a booth and marching at Austin Pride this Saturday! To all of our LGBTQ+ siblings: Jesus loves you and so do we! 🏳️🌈🙌
- This is what God's kingdom is like: a bunch of outcasts and oddballs gathered at a table, not because they are rich or worthy or good, but because they are hungry, because they said yes. And there's always room for more. - Rachel Held Evans
- “What makes the gospel offensive isn't who it keeps out, but who it lets in.” - Rachel Held Evans
- “I can do all things through a verse taken out of context.” Over the next few weeks, we’re going to be looking at verses often taken out of context in an attempt to understand them in Christlike ways that lead to flourishing for everyone. Hope to see you at 9:30am or 11:30am 🙌
00:00 - This reflects the spiritual journeys of so many folks we minister to.
- For far too long, churches and Christians have tried to take Jesus from LGBTQ+ people. We are committed to doing everything we can to make that stop.
00:00 - Due to so many new folks coming to Restore, we are starting a second Sunday Gathering this Sunday 1/7! Join us at 9:30am or 11:30am at Lively Middle School or at 9:30am CT live-streaming on YT and FB.
00:00 - Replying to @_nomadic_soul and @MsSwankWe are so sorry, Meg. If you ever need anything, don’t hesitate to reach out to us or @ZachWLambert.
- This Sunday, pastors Lindsay Contreras and Zach Lambert are tackling the verse “I do not permit a woman to teach…” as we continue in our Year of Bible Stories for Grown Ups. We will also celebrate communion together. You don’t want to miss it. See y’all then!
00:00 - “It is love that will save our world and our civilization, love even for enemies.” - Martin Luther King Jr.
- “Colonizers come uninvited to establish their rule. Friends come when invited, and serve.” On Sunday we talked to @CarlosHappyNPO about how to do missions and advocacy work in a way that isn’t colonizing or driven by a savior complex. It was a great conversation!
