The name “For Austin” reflects our desire to shift the focus of the church from what we are against to what we are for. We want to be known as a church that is for people, for our community, and for the next generation. While we will be based in Leander, “Austin” represents more than just the city limits—it’s about the entire Greater Austin area, which includes five counties and 22 cities. We believe this building project will enable us to better serve not only our local community but the broader region of Greater Austin. By building this new facility, we can extend our reach and impact, living out our mission in ways we’ve never been able to before. This building will be a place where people, no matter where they live in the area, will experience purpose, growth, and a sense of belonging. That’s why we’re calling it “For Austin.”
Breakdown:
$500k–$1M: Tenant Improvements (TI)
Transforming the space into a welcoming and functional home for Northpoint.
$500k–$1M: Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment (FF&E)
Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment (FFE) for the expanded building.
$500k: Pre-Development Costs
Replenishing the funds Northpoint has already invested in engineering, permitting, and early-stage planning. This ensures we restore our financial margin as we prepare to move into our much larger facility.
Your investment in For Austin will fund the necessary improvements for our new building and enable us to create a space that inspires growth, fosters connection, and impacts the next generation. From tailoring the space to meet our needs to equipping it with the furnishings and tools required for ministry, your giving ensures we can move forward with a home that supports our mission.
We finalized our partnership with TOPO in October 2023, and after 18 months of pre-development work, the project is now underway. Construction will prioritize our building and parking lots, with the building shell expected to be completed between September and October 2025. The internal build-out will follow, wrapping up by March 2026. We anticipate moving in and holding our first service by April 2026. While construction on the remaining buildings may continue, there will be ample parking available for our services.
In 2018, the For Austin campaign raised just shy of $3 million to purchase land, cover pre-development costs, and begin building a new facility. With a term sheet from the bank and city permits in hand, we were ready to move forward—until COVID hit, and the bank backed out. This forced us to pause and rethink our strategy.
Looking back, this setback became a blessing. The land we purchased more than doubled in value, positioning us for a much more impactful opportunity with TOPO. What we couldn’t see in 2018 became clear over time—this journey has brought us to a stronger position as a church that aligns perfectly with our strategy of being For Austin.
Because of the 2018 campaign, we are now poised to move forward with a project that will create an even greater impact on our church and the community we serve.
When you give to this building campaign, you’re not just supporting a physical space—you’re investing in life transformation and a lasting legacy. Generosity leads to joy, purpose, and fulfillment, aligning your heart with God’s mission and impacting others.
Your gift creates a place where people—kids, students, families—can encounter Jesus, grow, find purpose and belong. It shifts our focus from ourselves to something greater, deepens our faith, and leaves an eternal impact. This campaign is about building people, community, and your own sense of purpose in God’s plan.
