Flourish


At Garden City Church, we believe you were made for more than you ever imagined. Satisfying life is found in the richness & depth of relationships. When we cultivate and nurture these key relationships over time, God’s Shalom – the right and beautiful harmonious relationship of all things – begins to take root and establish itself in our lives. The outcome is magnificent and this flourishing is what we were made for.

This idea of flourishing is what we call the Garden City equation: God + You + Others + Creation = Flourishing. Explore more and consider yourself invited to join us. We can’t get there without you.

We were made to be loved by God and live life side by side with Him. As Pascal said, 'There is a God shaped hole in everyone of us that can only be filled by God.' Maybe you have spent years trying to fill that hole with other things. He invites you to stop and let Him in.
Have you ever considered what you would be like if you had no fear, guilt, or shame lounging around in your heart? If you lived in full confidence in who He made you to be, and had absolute freedom to live from that place?
God made us to be in deep relationship with other people. Where we know others and are known by them. Where we can speak the sometimes ugly truths about ourselves and still be loved on the other side of it. We were made to be in life giving relationship with people.
God made a big, beautiful world and invited us to be in charge of it. He gives each of us powerful and unique gifts to enable us to make this already beautiful world 'MORE'. So, we cook, build, paint, manage, invest, sew, plant, play, and organize. When we do those things and do them well, creation is adorned, other people are blessed, we receive joy, and God is glorified.
