We are a church that passionately pursues the presence of God and seeks to continually be led by the Holy Spirit. We are passionate about equipping believers to become empowered saints and to raise up leaders who will influence cities, regions and nations for Kingdom purposes. Our heart is to foster vibrant families and a thriving community. We are generous people willing to do whatever it takes to see lives transformed and revival sweep the nations so that Jesus gets His full reward.

Joaquin and Renée Evans were a part of Bethel Redding’s pastoral team for many years, and learned and gleaned so much before planting Bethel Austin in 2017. They are excited for this new chapter and new adventure as God has called them to take what they have learned in the last season and pour it into the next.

Joaquin is known for leadership and a strong ministry in the things of the Spirit, and served in many roles at Bethel Church, including School of Ministry Pastor, Healing Rooms Director and oversight of Bethel Activation Ministries (community of itinerating ministers).

Renée is known for her entrepreneurialism, creativity, and her real and vulnerable communication style with a ministry history that goes back to Hillsong Church in Sydney, Australia.
