Look what God has done. Now imagine what’s next!
On February 1st, 2026, Movement Church opened its doors for the first time. And in just our first year, look what God has done!
600+
Salvations
94
Baptisms
Marriages restored. Wayward children coming home. And a generation of young people being invested in, shaped, and equipped to follow Jesus!
And behind every one of those numbers is a name. A face. A family. A story that will never be the same.
But here’s what we believe: God is just getting started!
Heart for the House is our opportunity to celebrate everything God has already done and give above and beyond toward everything we’re believing Him to do next.
Because we’re not just grateful for the lives God has already changed. We’re believing Him for thousands more!
These aren’t just numbers. They’re people.
When we say over 600 people have made decisions to follow Jesus, we’re talking about real people who have encountered a real Savior.
When we celebrate 94 baptisms, we’re celebrating lives made new.
When we talk about marriages being restored, we’re talking about husbands and wives finding hope again.
When we talk about wayward children coming home, we’re talking about families experiencing answers to prayers they’ve prayed for years.
And when we invest in the next generation, we’re not just keeping kids occupied on a Sunday morning. We’re helping raise up the next generation of passionate followers of Jesus!
This is what your generosity helps make possible. And this is why we have a Heart for the House.
Because we love what God is doing IN this house, and we want to see what God can do THROUGH this house!
Lori’s Movement Baptism Story
What is Heart for the House?
God’s house is home for humanity.
The regular giving of the people of Movement Church make the ministry we do possible. Week after week.
Heart for the House is an opportunity to go above and beyond our regular giving to strengthen the foundation of our church, establish a financially sustainable future, and make room for more people to experience Jesus.
Every gift supports the overall mission of Movement Church, including weekly ministry, staff and facilities, outreach, church planting, and opportunities for future growth.
We’re not just giving toward a project. We’re investing in the future of Movement Church.
Your Generosity Journey
Generosity isn’t a destination. It’s a journey of growing in faith, trust, and obedience to God.
At Movement Church, we believe God wants you to experience the blessing of generosity. No matter where you’re starting, there’s a next step you can take.
Step 1
First-Time Generosity
Every journey starts with a first step.
If you’ve never given financially to God through the local church, this is your opportunity to begin! It’s not about the size of your gift. It’s about taking a step of faith and beginning to put God first in your finances.
I’m taking my first step of faith by giving financially to God through the local church.
Step 2
Consistent Giving
Move from giving occasionally to giving intentionally.
Maybe you’ve given before, but you haven’t yet established a consistent rhythm of generosity. Or perhaps you’re not yet giving a full tithe but want to begin building toward that step.
Choose an amount you can commit to giving regularly, whether weekly, every payday, or monthly. Setting up recurring giving is a great way to make generosity a consistent priority.
I’m committing to put God first in my finances and grow toward giving 10%.
Step 3
Tithing
Put God FIRST with the first 10%.
The word tithe means tenth. At Movement Church, we teach the biblical principle of honoring God by bringing the first 10% of our income to Him through the local church.
Tithing isn’t simply about giving regularly. It’s about giving God the first portion of what He’s entrusted to us.
If you’ve already established a rhythm of giving but aren’t yet tithing, this is your opportunity to take that next step of faith.
I’m committing to honor God by giving the first 10% of my income through the local church.
Step 4
Heart for the House Offering
Go above and beyond to make an eternal impact.
Tithing supports the ongoing ministry of the local church. Heart for the House is an opportunity to give above and beyond your regular tithe toward the future vision and mission of Movement Church.
Through extraordinary generosity, we can create more opportunities for people to encounter Jesus, find community, discover their purpose, and experience life change.
I’m giving above and beyond to help expand the vision and impact of Movement Church.
It’s not about everyone giving the same amount. It’s about everyone taking a step of faith.
Whatever your next step looks like, we’re believing that God will use your generosity to change your heart and impact the lives of others.
Where your offering goes
Every gift to Heart for the House is invested in three directions: our house, our city, and our world.
Our House
A significant part of the offering is invested right here at home, into the people and the place that make church happen week after week: the venue we gather in, and the leadership that serves our church. This is where people encounter Jesus, find community, discover their gifts, and grow in their faith.
Our City
Our heart is outward-focused. We want to keep meeting practical needs in and around the Hutto and North Austin area, carrying the light and hope of Jesus into our city in ways that go far beyond a Sunday.
Our World
From the beginning, Movement has been about more than one room. Your offering helps plant and build churches across the US and around the world, and meet practical needs across the globe, so more people in more places can meet Jesus.
“Moreover, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house, my own special treasure of gold and silver.”
1 Chronicles 29:3 · NKJV
David did not just give what was required. He gave over and above, out of his own treasure, because his heart was set on God's house. That is the heart behind Heart for the House.
Share your story

Heart for the House FAQs
What exactly is Heart for the House?
It is a special season each year when we refocus our hearts on God's house and His mission. In addition to our regular giving, we come together on Heart for the House Sunday to bring a financial offering in faith that goes beyond our tithe. This way, we make room for the steps of faith in front of us and invest in what God wants to do through His church in our city and in the generations to come.
Why a financial offering?
In Romans 12:1, Paul describes our whole life as a living sacrifice to God, so the way we handle money is part of following Jesus and an expression of our trust in Him. We never give to earn God's favor. We give because we are responding to what He has already given us. God is not after your money; He wants your heart, and where your treasure goes, your heart follows.
Watch the message: “God Isn’t After Your Money; He Wants Your Heart!”
What amount should I give?
Generosity does not begin with a specific sum; it begins in our hearts. An offering means we sacrifice something when we give. Jesus singled out the poor widow in Mark 12 who gave two small coins, because out of her poverty she put in everything she had. So ask God what a genuine act of generosity and faith looks like for you, and give willingly, full of trust and with an open heart, never out of pressure or obligation. Paul says it plainly: “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Corinthians 9:7)
What will the offering be used for?
It is invested in our house, our city, and our world: the people and place that make church happen every week here in Hutto, practical needs in our local community, and planting churches across the US and around the world. See "Where your offering goes" above for more.
When and where is it?
Sunday, December 6 at 10:00 AM at Gus Almquist Middle School in Hutto, during our regular Sunday service.
What if I can't make it to Heart for the House Sunday?
That is no problem at all. You can give online anytime, before or after December 6, or mail a check to the address above. Every gift given toward Heart for the House counts, whenever it arrives.
Will I receive a receipt for my offering?
Yes. Movement Church is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, so your giving is tax-deductible. Gifts received or postmarked by December 31 count toward 2026, and you'll receive a giving statement at the end of the year for your tax records.
Who do I contact with questions about giving?
Our giving team is happy to help at giving@ourmovementchurch.com.
Be part of what God builds next.
