Our St. John Congregation started with a vision. We wanted to take a rundown building in an under-resourced Austin neighborhood and use it to bring healing, restoration, and hope to our city. Since 2011, a lot has changed for our congregation, but that core passion remains steadfast. We want to be a people who reflect God’s heart and the beauty of the gospel in the place He’s called us to.
Whether you’re a single professional, a new or seasoned family, or an empty nester, there’s a place for you here! We host worship services, equipping opportunities, community gatherings, and more to create welcoming spaces where people from all walks of life can come together to worship Jesus.
The Austin Stone St. John Congregation began with a vision—transforming a rundown building in an under-resourced neighborhood into a place of healing, restoration, and hope. Since 2011, much has changed, but our radical passion for the gospel remains unwavering. We’re a group of imperfect people from all walks of life who recognize our need for God’s grace. We’re committed to ridiculous hospitality, deep faith, and transformative spiritual growth.
We’re located in central Austin with young adults, families, and empty nesters from all ethnic, social, and cultural backgrounds. No matter your story, there’s a place for you here!
Through worship services, equipping opportunities, community gatherings, and family ministries, we’re intentional about radically living out God’s calling here and among the nations. Join us as we display the gospel and glorify God by building a flourishing community of hope!

Each Sunday, we host programming for children 8 weeks old through 4th grade at 9am and kids 8 weeks old through 5th grade 11am.

When you arrive, you’ll be greeted and guided by our Welcome Team! They’ll be happy to help answer any questions you may have. From there, feel free to stop by our Connections area. We’d love to meet you!
During the service, you’ll worship alongside a live band and hear biblically-based teaching from an in-person sermon or a broadcasted sermon from one of our other congregations!
Signs will point you to the check-in area, where one of our Kids volunteers can help! We are committed to safety, so every child must be checked in and out using a check-in system.
At your first visit, you’ll provide some basic family information, including your full name, your child’s full name, their birthday, your contact information, and any special instructions or allergy information. Once you’ve checked in your child, you’ll receive corresponding parent and child stickers, which you’ll use to pick up your child after the worship service.
