Garden Church Mission

Our mission is simple: Treat the gathering like you would a garden, and those who are there like you would treat plants that matter. We are all just sprouts from the root that is Christ! In this attempt, we hold to "3W's: Weed, Water, Wait."

Weed- Weeds choke the life out of any garden, and a good gardener works tirelessly to remove these impediments. The Garden is a place to develop roots that go deep into the soil of the grace of God and the finished work of Christ, free from demands and expectations.The weeding process is continuous, as the cares of this life are endless, so the community of believers gather to strengthen the brethren and to help them carry the load.

Water- Jesus is a well of living, eternal water, springing up within our soul. Within a community, the water of life flows to provide healing, nourishment, and wholeness, to all that grow there. Water is the substance of our baptism, where we are immersed into the death of Christ and made alive in His resurrection. Water is the purifying force of the Holy Spirit, both giving direction with His unforced rhythms and cleansing us of all unrighteousness.

Wait- At the Garden we wait patiently for the transformation of the soul and the restoration of all things. No amount of pressure can force a plant to bring forth fruit before its time, and no spiritual coercion will bring maturity to believers. We wait, together, as Christ transforms us into His image, from glory to glory, by the power of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3). We also work, and occupy till He comes, awaiting the fullness of the Kingdom of God, taking seriously our mandate to love God and our neighbor, and to treat the stranger as if we are entertaining angels unaware.

Foundational Beliefs

The Apostles' Creed

I believe in God the Father, Almighty,

Creator of heaven and earth,

And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord.

He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit,

And born of the virgin Mary.

He suffered under Pontius Pilate,

Was crucified, died, and was buried.

He descended to the dead.

On the third day He rose again.

He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

The holy catholic church,

The communion of saints,

The forgiveness of sins,

The resurrection of the body,

And the life everlasting,

Amen.

The Nicene Creed

The Apostles' Creed

We believe in one God,
      the Father almighty,
      maker of heaven and earth,
      of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
      the only Son of God,
      begotten from the Father before all ages,
           God from God,
           Light from Light,
           true God from true God,
      begotten, not made;
      of the same essence as the Father.
      Through him all things were made.
      For us and for our salvation
           he came down from heaven;
           he became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary,
           and was made human.
           He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate;
           he suffered and was buried.
           The third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures.
           He ascended to heaven
           and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
           He will come again with glory
           to judge the living and the dead.
           His kingdom will never end.

And we believe in the Holy Spirit,
      the Lord, the giver of life.
      He proceeds from the Father and the Son,
      and with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified.
      He spoke through the prophets.
      We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church.
      We affirm one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
      We look forward to the resurrection of the dead,
      and to life in the world to come. Amen.
