GOD IS BUILDING A HOME. HE’S USING US ALL — IRRESPECTIVE OF HOW WE GOT HERE — IN WHAT HE IS BUILDING. HE USED THE APOSTLES AND PROPHETS FOR THE FOUNDATION. NOW HE’S USING YOU, FITTING YOU IN BRICK BY BRICK, STONE BY STONE, WITH CHRIST JESUS AS THE CORNERSTONE THAT HOLDS ALL THE PARTS TOGETHER. WE SEE IT TAKING SHAPE DAY AFTER DAY — A HOLY TEMPLE BUILT BY GOD, ALL OF US BUILT INTO IT, A TEMPLE IN WHICH GOD IS QUITE AT HOME.
EPHESIANS 2:19-22 (THE MESSAGE)

Watch these Heart for the House stories that will stir your faith—see what God has done, and will do!
At the beginning of this year, the words RESCUE, RESTORE and REBUILD were impressed on my spirit. These words represent more than merely a slogan or a catchy alliteration; they truly encapsulate what we are believing God for across the breadth of Hillsong Church and for every person who calls Hillsong ‘home’.
I love the imagery of the Church being likened to a home. In fact, Paul uses this language in Ephesians 2 as he describes our citizenship in the household of God – every individual is carefully placed brick by brick and Jesus Christ is the Chief Cornerstone holding us all together. In a world laden with questions, answers that bring hope, healing and redemption can only be found in Jesus. It is truly astonishing that God has chosen to partner with ordinary men and women like you and me to build His glorious House – people who believe they can make a difference in the world and see the love of God reach all who are seeking and in need.
The bottom line of Heart for the House, and our vision at large as a church, has always been to prepare a home for those who are homeless, for those who are without answers, for those who are without meaning to their lives. Heart for the House signifies more than an annual offering, it truly is a miracle in motion.
Bobbie and I often refer to this season as holy, because to be honest, the collective sacrifice and generosity exemplified year after year, is truly sacred. As you know, this offering is not about equal giving, but rather equal sacrifice. We have said it for years and it remains true: our church is not built on the gifts and talents of a few, but on the sacrifices of many. As we approach this year’s Heart for the House offering, we are believing that our collective devotion would once again be a testimony of people whose passion is unwavering and who know the foundation they build upon.
Whilst it seems that much of the world continues to shake under the weight of a horrid pandemic and widespread disillusionment, God’s Kingdom remains unshakable and His love for all humanity as fierce and reliable as ever. Our prayer is that every person who calls Hillsong Church ‘home’ will lean afresh into the future and challenge with us. We thank you for the part you play and for your unrelenting faithfulness, generosity and love of all things dear to God’s heart. It is truly an honour to be a part of this story with you.
With love,
Brian & Bobbie
Global Senior Pastors, Hillsong Church
How to Prepare for Heart for the House
Pray
Prayerfully consider your part in our Heart for the House offering. Don't be afraid to ask God what He would have you to do. He will provide for what He has planned.
Plan
Every significant sacrifice requires a plan. Never underestimate budgeting for generosity across the course of the year. Careful planning enables most people to give more than they thought possible.
Commit
There is such power in committing and then watching God help you fulfill it.
Bring
Bring your offering or prepare to submit your monthly pledge on November 7th during one of our worship services.
RESCUE
“It is a year of God’s supernatural rescue.”
— Brian Houston
HE RESCUES AND SAVES HIS PEOPLE; HE PERFORMS MIRACULOUS SIGNS AND WONDERS IN THE HEAVENS AND ON EARTH. HE HAS RESCUED DANIEL FROM THE POWER OF THE LIONS.
DANIEL 6:27 (NLT)
GOD IS A RESCUER AND WE ARE BELIEVING FOR INCREDIBLE TESTIMONIES OF GOD’S SUPERNATURAL RESCUE OF HIS PEOPLE. RESCUING THOSE IN IMPOSSIBLE SITUATIONS - WHETHER IT BE HEALING FROM SICKNESS, PROVIDING FOOD FOR THE HUNGRY OR PROTECTING THOSE FACING TROUBLE. TOGETHER, AS CHRIST’S BODY, OUR HOUSE HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE THE LORD’S HANDS AND FEET - HIS ‘RESCUE’- TO A WORLD IN DESPERATE NEED OF A SAVIOUR.
RESTORE
He restores our soul - surely goodness and mercy will follow us, all the days of our lives." — Brian Houston
THE BIBLE IS FILLED WITH TESTIMONIES OF THE LORD’S FAITHFULNESS TO RESTORE WHAT IS BROKEN AND LOST - FROM CITIES AND NATIONS TO FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS. THERE IS NO LIFE OR SITUATION THAT IS BEYOND HIS POWER TO RESTORE - WITH GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE (MATTHEW 19:26).
FOR OUR HOUSE AND WORLD, WE BELIEVE HE WILL HEAL HURTING HEARTS AND BODIES, REDEEM LOST TIME, RESTORE BUSINESSES, NEIGHBOURHOODS AND COMMUNITIES WHO HAVE SUFFERED LOSS.
REBUILD
"In 2021 we are believing for God to do a new thing.”
— Brian Houston
FOR WE WERE SLAVES. YET OUR GOD DID NOT FORSAKE US IN OUR BONDAGE; BUT HE EXTENDED MERCY TO US IN THE SIGHT OF THE KINGS OF PERSIA, TO REVIVE US, TO REPAIR THE HOUSE OF OUR GOD, TO REBUILD ITS RUINS, AND TO GIVE US A WALL IN JUDAH AND JERUSALEM.
EZRA 9:9 (NKJV)
FROM BUILDINGS AND NATIONS, TO FAMILIES AND CHILDREN, WE BELIEVE HE IS BUILDING SOMETHING NEW IN OUR MIDST THAT WILL BE STRONGER AND MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN ANYTHING PASSED, FAR ABOVE ALL WE COULD ASK, THINK OR IMAGINE (EPHESIANS 3:20).
Rescue
Restore
Rebuild
Our mission to reach and influence the world by building a large Christ-centred Bible-based church has never been more relevant. We look towards the future with great anticipation for all the Lord will accomplish through His House in the days to come. For the lost and new generations we will welcome ‘home’ through our doors. For the aching hearts, hands and homes who will experience God’s healing, care and restoration. The best truly is yet to come.
What is Heart for the House Offering?
Every year in the Fall, we hold a special “Heart for the House” weekend where our church gathers to give towards building the house.
“Not equal giving, but equal sacrifice” is a hallmark phrase that has framed our Heart for the House offering. Year after year, we have seen sacrificial giving that is breathtaking. What God has accomplished on the earth through the sacrifice of many is nothing short of miraculous.
We invite you to join us in cause and faith as we endeavor to advance the Kingdom of God on earth through his church.
