Gospel. Community. Mission.

Music is a universal language. Virtually every known people group no matter how primitive or isolated, create music for their culture and for their gods. There is a unifying nature to music that is undeniable. Music in its nature is a reflection of our tri-une God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit, three-in-one). Like the Trinity, in music many things fill the same space... at the same time: melody, harmony, tempo, rhythm, lyric, rhyme, & story. God has given us this reflective gift not as an end in itself, but ultimately to give it back to him in worship. Worship is a continuous outpouring of all that we are. Everyone worships something and worship is not exclusive to music, though music is a wonderfully expressive form of our affection to Christ. (For more information on what we believe about Worship see our Worship page.)

Nate Navarro | Broken Becomes Beautiful - Austin singer/songwriter Nate Navarro's "Broken Becomes Beautiful" narrates the story of a sinner deeply acquainted with grace and the mission of God. Nate’s emotive, gritty lyrics remind us of an authentic and stirring faith, drawing us back to the simplicity of the gospel–we are more broken than we dare admit but in Jesus more accepted than we could ever imagine.
