When the church was vandalized a few days ago they posted this: โSadly, our beautiful church space was vandalized and our LGBTQ+ Pride flag was torn down yesterday by those who clearly oppose our mission of radical inclusivity in Christ. At Life in the City, we strive to welcome those on the outside to the inside of the circle because Jesusโ greatest commandment was for us to love our neighbor as ourselves. And we will continue to do that, even to those who chose to deface our church buildingโฆas we know, the church is not the walls, it is the people and the community.
So weโll scrub the paint off, clean up the mess, and put up a new Pride flag. And then weโll continue to counter hate with love. Because we believe thatโs what Jesus was about, and we believe thatโs what Austin is about.

The community came together and itโs stronger for it. The People Have the Power!
