Spirit Groove Austin is a fusion of music, spoken word, drama, dance and the word of God. Our first Friday event is a musical and spiritual experience designed to provide an atmosphere of worship and a place where biblical truths are brought to life in a fresh and creative way.In simpler terms, we’re merging the Spirit with the Groove. When we say Spirit, we mean the Holy Spirit. The role of the Holy Spirit is to guide, direct, comfort, convict and teach us so that as believers in Christ we can move our lives toward holiness and perfection.When we say Groove, we use multiple definitions. A groove describes rhythms, beats and can also be defined as the place and purpose in life for which you were created. When you find your groove in life, you find a phenominal place of peace, productivity and prosperity. You actually are free to do exactly what God created you to do.Spirit Groove provides a place where artists, poets, vocalists, musicians and others can express themselves creatively and freely. The bottom line is always what God says and the biblical perspective.Ultimately, Spirit Groove strives to use new sights and sounds to bring the story of Christ and His love to those who feel detached from the church or feel that Christianity is not relevant to their everyday lives. It is also a place where believers can take their worship higher and beyond Sunday service.HistorySpirit Groove Austin was created in 2006 by Tim Richardson. Richardson sought to provide an alternative worship experience in a non-traditional setting in Austin. Richardson based this concept around the original Spirit Groove held in Dallas. Spirit Groove was founded by the late McKinley "Mak" Hailey in 2000 and impacted young adults across the Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex via the club scene in Deep Elum. Richardson quickly caught on to Hailey’s vision and the Lord led him to bring that vision and plant it in Austin during his years there as a student. Since its inception, Spirit Groove Austin has featured Christian artists, poets, dancers, speakers and actors from around Texas
