Garden Church Mission<\/span><\/h3>\n

[\/dfd_heading][vc_column_text css=”” item_animation=”transition.slideRightBigIn”]<\/p>\n

\n
\n

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.”<\/p>\n

Weed- <\/strong>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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Water- <\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Wait- <\/strong>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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Apostles’ Creed<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n

[\/dfd_heading][vc_column_text css=”” item_animation=”transition.slideUpBigIn” el_class=”beliefContent”]<\/p>\n

I believe in God the Father, Almighty,<\/p>\n

Creator of heaven and earth,<\/p>\n

And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord.<\/p>\n

He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit,<\/p>\n

And born of the virgin Mary.<\/p>\n

He suffered under Pontius Pilate,<\/p>\n

Was crucified, died, and was buried.<\/p>\n

He descended to the dead.<\/p>\n

On the third day He rose again.<\/p>\n

He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.<\/p>\n

He will come again to judge the living and the dead.<\/p>\n

I believe in the Holy Spirit,<\/p>\n

The holy catholic church,<\/p>\n

The communion of saints,<\/p>\n

The forgiveness of sins,<\/p>\n

The resurrection of the body,<\/p>\n

And the life everlasting,<\/p>\n

Amen.<\/p>\n

The Nicene Creed<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

[\/dfd_heading][vc_column_text css=”” item_animation=”transition.slideDownBigIn” el_class=”beliefContent”]<\/p>\n

We believe in one God,
\nthe Father almighty,
\nmaker of heaven and earth,
\nof all things visible and invisible.<\/p>\n

And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
\nthe only Son of God,
\nbegotten from the Father before all ages,
\nGod from God,
\nLight from Light,
\ntrue God from true God,
\nbegotten, not made;
\nof the same essence as the Father.
\nThrough him all things were made.
\nFor us and for our salvation
\nhe came down from heaven;
\nhe became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary,
\nand was made human.
\nHe was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate;
\nhe suffered and was buried.
\nThe third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures.
\nHe ascended to heaven
\nand is seated at the right hand of the Father.
\nHe will come again with glory
\nto judge the living and the dead.
\nHis kingdom will never end.<\/p>\n

And we believe in the Holy Spirit,
\nthe Lord, the giver of life.
\nHe proceeds from the Father and the Son,
\nand with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified.
\nHe spoke through the prophets.
\nWe believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church.
\nWe affirm one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
\nWe look forward to the resurrection of the dead,
\nand to life in the world to come. Amen.[\/vc_column_text]
