Restore Austin

Summer Mixtape is our annual teaching series filled with diverse voices and diverse topics.

Diversity is one of our core values here at Restore because we believe the church works best when we embrace and empower the differences around us. We also believe learning widely from a variety of perspectives makes us all better.

Join us as Lindsay Contreras kicks off Summer Mixtape 2025! We livestream every Sunday at 9:30am CT.

Jesus is not like any other king in history because we have the opportunity to commune with him. This week we are exploring what it looks like to abide with Christ. If Jesus is the vine, and we are the branches, what kind of fruit are we supposed to be producing? Join us this Sunday as our Executive Pastor, Lindsay Contreras, kicks off our next series in our Year of Discovering God's Kingdom - Communing with the King.
