SWGP SUNDAY SERVICE AUSTIN, TX

March 15, 2026 | Fair Market, Austin

INNOVATION HAPPENS HERE. SO DOES WORSHIP.

Every March, 100,000 people flood Austin for SXSW—the world’s premier gathering where culture-shaping innovation happens. Twitter launched here. Presidential campaigns found their voice here. The future takes shape here.

And this year, the Church shows up in the heart of it.

Join hundreds of Christians gathering at Fair Market for SWGP @ SXSW—a weekend experience that brings together Austin’s problem solvers, world-changing innovators, and believers ready to worship God right in the center of SXSW.

THIS IS THE MAIN EVENT—AND IT’S OPEN TO EVERYONE.

In the middle of SXSW’s chaos and creativity, we’re gathering for worship, truth, and vision. This isn’t a conference—it’s a service. A moment to center ourselves on what actually matters while the world around us chases the next big thing…

WHY THIS MATTERS

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE AT SXSW TO FEEL ITS PULL.

Every year, this city becomes ground zero for where culture is heading. And every year, the Church has a choice: stay on the sidelines or step into the center.

We’re stepping in.

This isn’t about being cool or relevant. It’s about being present—letting our light shine that Christians aren’t running from hard problems or culture’s biggest stages. We’re solving them. We’re building. We’re worshiping.

And we’re doing it together.

Whether you’re…

A founder building a startup in Austin
An artist creating work that matters
A tech leader navigating ethical complexity
An Austinite who loves Jesus and wants to gather with your city
A neighbor trying to love your city well
Someone who just wants to worship with people who get it

…This is for you.
