faqs

How do I dress for worship? Dress at The Garden is casual. Jeans and t-shirt, shorts and sandals, dresses and skirts, all are welcome.

What happens in worship? In worship, we do four things. We gather and celebrate our community. We share the word by listening to Scripture and hearing a sermon. We respond by giving in service and taking communion. Finally, we are sent forth and reconciled people who were made to love and be loved.

Who can participate in communion? The United Methodist Church practices an open table. All are welcome, member and non-member, sinner and saint, young and old. If your little one isn’t ready for communion the pastor will offer a blessing.

Who can attend worship? All ages are welcome in worship. We have a pray-ground for our youngest ones in worship. Families are welcome to sit at the pray-ground or sit in the nursery where worship is live-streamed. Any person is welcome to attend worship at The Garden. We are an open and affirming church. Come as you and who you are and you will be accepted.

Who leads worship? Each service is led by lay and clergy together. Music is led by a praise band in modern worship and a choir in traditional worship.
