The Garden Church
It's a church where your bartender could get baptized, where broken marriages are restored, and the last person you'd see in church might be lit on fire by the hope of the Gospel.
The Garden is a church that's not bashful about truth but enthusiastic about rich theology so that Christians young and old might be fully equipped.
We long to see the whole West Valley renewed by the power and beauty of Jesus.

Don't Buy The Lie | Revelation 2:18-29
From fact checkers to deep fakes to fake news to lies surround us everywhere today. But that's nothing new. And fake bible teachers and false prophets are no exception. But the truth is lies aren't always insidious. Sometimes they feel really good and really tempting. Jesus writes to a church that feels like that. Thyatira is tempted by the idea that they can follow Jesus and embrace any kind of sexuality. A false prophetess is teaching them as much. But in this passage we find power to idenitify and resist the lies and become uncompromising followers of Jesus.From fact checkers to deep fakes to fake news—lies surround us everywhere today.
