THE WHY

Humans long for deep friendships. We are made for community as image-bearers of God. God himself is in community. Or more accurately, God is community: one God, three persons. Christians are saved to community and grow in community. At the Garden we experience community in our Sunday gatherings and small groups.

“If you want the surpassing power of God in your life, you have to plunge yourself into a community,
because God’s power works in your life to the degree that you are involved in community.” — Tim Keller

THE WHAT​

​

Vine Groups:

Vine Groups are the place where life happens. They are not as concerned with structure as they are with connection to Jesus and community. The vine group is a small, multiplying body of no more than twelve to sixteen, within the Garden’s congregation. A Holy place of community and accountability focused on spiritual maturity through life together discipleship. (Beginning August 2025) 

​

Trellis Groups:

Trellis Groups provide the body support and structure through intentional training in specific areas. They are the foundational tool behind how the vine groups are able to communally develop. From Bible studies to systematic theology, finance to child raising, marriage and more, these groups were created to provide helpful instruction geared toward the various needs present within our congregation.

(Beginning 2026)
