Why Are We a Progressive Christian Church? - The Garden Church is a faith community committed to sowing the seeds of hope and assisting peoples?spirits soar with God's help. We are dedicated to equipping one another for the work we are called to do: striving for peace and justice among all people, protecting and restoring the integrity of all of God's creation, and bringing hope to those Jesus called the least of his sisters and brothers.
As progressive Christians, we believe that people follow many paths to God, and that religion is intensely personal. We also see faith as relational, something to practice in community. Our faith community is diverse, comprised of people who are young and old, blue-collar and professional, recent immigrants and those whose families have been here for generations.
We treasure and celebrate our diversity, finding a synergy of faith and purpose in our differences. Our Search for God - At The Garden Church, we find more grace in the search for understanding than we do in dogmatic certainty, more value in questioning than in absolutes.
