My wife, Vicki, and I are deeply humbled and honored to be embraced as an AOC Sport Ministry Program! One thing that we have already learned is that your team of Pastors each has a heart for serving God in a way that is both personally transparent and God pleasing.

We totally support Pastor Brandon’s current teaching that the foundation of our faith must be rooted in the belief of God’s eternal plan of salvation, and we must allow His supernatural acts of grace, mercy and love to transform our lives into Christ-likeness.

Like others who have arrived here before us, we feel certain that God has called us to the Austin area. Looking back over the last couple of years, it became crystal clear to us that He had dried up the comfort and security we had known as business owners in Illinois, and called us to make our new home in a vastly different land --- Texas ya’ll!!

Though we cannot say for certain what the future holds, what we do know is that God remains unchanging, and that we deeply desire for His will to rule in our lives. We also know that He has already prepared the path before us. Even more, we know that He has already called some of YOU to join with us in a common cause – His cause.

No doubt, in time you will learn more about Vicki and me, and how God has uniquely gifted us, but at this introductory stage we want you to know that we eagerly look forward to how God will use our Taekwondo and Gymnastics sports ministries to bring Him honor and glory!

Petitioning God in prayer, we ask that He finds us to be faithful servants of His heavenly purpose; that we grow ever more joyful and thankful that He has invited us to be “salt and light;” and that we do “good works” for His eternal glory.

OUTSIDE & ONLINE AT AOC with Valerie Bryan

I’m an American Heart Association CPR Instructor with over 14 years of experience teaching in a clinical setting for Healthcare Providers and laypeople. I teach at several clinics, hospitals, schools, fitness gyms and churches throughout Austin and surrounding areas. Before becoming an instructor, I took countless CPR classes and I never really felt confident in my CPR skills. After becoming an instructor myself, I realised that CPR does not have to be complicated and can be so much fun to learn! My life’s mission is to empower as many people in our community with vital life-saving skills On a personal note, I’ve lived in South Austin for 25 years. My husband Barton and I have an active 6 year old boy named Jack who attends Mills Elementary and loves drawing and Basketball. I would be thrilled to help the Austin Oaks Church community learn to be Life-Savers! ~Val Bryan

We focus on the whole girl!

Meeting in small teams or connecting virtually, trained volunteer coaches inspire girls to build confidence and other important life skills through dynamic, interactive lessons and physical activity. Girls on the Run reaches girls at a critical stage, strengthening their confidence at a time when society begins to tell them they can’t. Underscoring the important connection between physical and emotional health, our program addresses the whole girl when she needs it the most.
We believe that ALL GIRLS are born with power and purpose. Using a fun, research-based curriculum that creatively integrates running, we inspire every girl to reach her limitless potential, not just for the length of our program, but for life.
Get involved. Transform lives. By partnering with Girls on the Run, you are making it possible for more girls to unlock their power and potential. Join us as we inspire, encourage and strengthen confidence in the next generation of women.
