for the broken, brusied & burned out
message us through social media for address“Prayer is daily admission of one's weakness."
-Mahatma Gandhi
Now more than ever, we all need a place of refuge. Sanctuary.Jesus spoke of his house as a house of prayer - a space where weary souls could breathe again. The psalmists and poets called it a shelter from the storm. And yet, for many of us, the church has felt more like the storm than shelter. We see it and are deeply saddened by it. If it’s true that God so loves the world, then there is healing work to be done. Work rooted in humility, prayer, and love. And it begins close to home, by becoming the kind of place where people can rest, be honest, and truly experience scandalous, subversive grace.do we really need
another church?
People who were nothing like Jesus liked Jesus. Because he liked them. It’s hard to hate someone who keeps loving you no matter what. That's tough love.
Like Polaroid pics that fully form over time, the garden is a daily developing picture of God's love. Incomplete but growing in grace.
When we say it’s ok to not be ok, we mean business. Life is full of ups & downs, right? 2 steps forward, 3 steps back. We get it. The Godward life is not a story of perfection but movement. Keep going. Keep growing. Stay together. Play together. Pray together. We weren’t meant to pick up the pieces alone. That’s what Jesus meant when he said “follow me”. He wasn’t asking for perfection. He was inviting us to himself.
We’re a church that laughs together, learns together, prays together & swears together. Our moms would have washed out our mouths with soap if they heard us at church. We’re not trying to be cool. We’re not. We work to be honest. Humble. Teachable. Broken. Ready to receive grace for who we really are.
We want to welcome everyone seeking soul care and help develop healthy spiritual habits for life. We think everything tells a story about God. We believe everyone is made in the image of God. Every race, every background, every sexual orientation. Oftentimes we have as much to learn from you as you might from us. Together, we can help each other on this evolving, eternal path of learning to enjoy God.
The Garden gathers every Sunday morning @ 10. Fair trade coffee & tea are served starting at 9:30 for the early birds. Children's ministry is provided for parents of newborns & toddlers. We’re out by 11:30.
Bring your baggage, bring your doubts and bring your partner to the garden this week. Because people who were nothing like Jesus liked Jesus. People like you and me.
