We’re excited to bring back church potlucks—and not just because we enjoy good food! It’s about creating space to linger, share life, and deepen relationships with one another as we follow Jesus together.

So mark your calendars for Sunday, June 28th right after our worship gathering!

At Garden City, we believe that community is more than gathering in the same room on Sundays. We grow into the kind of people who can celebrate, grieve, support, encourage, and care for one another when we spend intentional time together. Some of the most meaningful moments of discipleship happen around tables, over meals, and in ordinary conversations. As a church, we want to continue creating space for those kinds of relationships to grow.

These relational touchpoints also help us become a burden-bearing community—one where people are known, loved, and supported through every season of life. They remind us that following Jesus isn’t just something we do individually; it’s something we do together.

Please sign up at the link in our profile or stories to bring a dish to share if you’re able, and come ready to enjoy good food and good company!

We love you, church

Join us THIS SUNDAY for our 4th Annual Marathon Sunday Cookout!

On Sunday, May 3rd, there will be NO WORSHIP GATHERING due to Marathon-related road closures. Instead, we’ll gather in the evening for a big cookout!

This year, we’ve reserved the Riverview Park Activities Building so we can have plenty of room for a big party all together! We’ll be cooking up burgers and hot dogs, and we’ll have some kickball as well as lots of other games and our annual Co****le Tournament!

Please sign up at the link in our profile or stories to bring a side dish, dessert, or beverage, and bring along any lawn games you’d like to share too!

This week, Pastor Shaq Hager explored two parables that Jesus told one right after the other. In the first parable, Jesus describes the Kingdom as a treasure that a person finds in a field. The person buries the treasure and then purchases the field. Then, Jesus describes the Kingdom as the perfect pearl that when it is discovered by a merchant, they sells everything to obtain it. Jesus doesn’t resolve these parables. He doesn’t even explain them. But we often turn them into easy to understand and digest lessons about how we should do anything it takes to obtain the Kingdom.

But is that what Jesus wanted people to hear? What is Jesus trying to teach us in these parables?

This week Pastor Shaq Hager explored two parables: the parable of the mustard seed and the parable of the leaven. The Kingdom of God doesn’t announce itself in grand or triumphant ways. It starts imperceptibly small and if we’re not careful, if we’re not attuned, if we’re not sensitive and discerning, we can miss it. We can miss seeing the Kingdom in the midst of our regular, every day lives. We can miss seeing the ways the Kingdom is breaking in to our communities. The Kingdom is most assuredly here, but we have to be trained to look for it.

This week, Pastor Dennis Allan began our new series, “Parables of the Kingdom.”

In the Parable of the Sower Jesus tells a story about a sower and four types of soil. But this parable isn’t meant to be read as a diagnostic, where we determine which of the four soils we are and then try to make ourselves into the good soil. This is a parable that tells the story of a Sower who is already walking the ground of our lives, sowing the Gospel wherever He goes. We, like Jesus’s original audience, are invited to “listen” and “look” with our whole lives, taking in and wrestling with Jesus’s teaching, and what it means for how we’re supposed to live. If we will draw near to the Sower, if we’ll be patient, if we’ll persevere, if we’ll allow the Gospel to do its work in our lives and hearts over time, our lives just might produce a harvest.

This Easter, Pastor Dennis Allan reflected on the way that Jesus, in his resurrected body, appears to Mary Magdalene, two disciples on the road to Emmaus, and Thomas. They had seen Jesus had die. They knew his body had been buried. And then, on the third day, in the midst of the fear, confusion, worry, and doubt, Jesus appeared to them, moving towards them in relationship, meeting them right where they needed. He invited them to believe that, just as he’d said he would, he overcame death and the grave.

It’s a story of profound hope. The King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the Alpha and the Omega is everything he’d said he was. And in his resurrection we can trust that, just as he did with the disciples, Jesus will move towards us, invite us to believe in him, and invite us into his world-changing mission. Because Jesus isn’t done yet with us, or with this world He created.

On Palm Sunday, we walked through the story of Jesus’s final week from the perspective of the crowd who received Jesus with shouts of “Hosanna!” as he entered Jerusalem and, less than a week later, shouted “Crucify Him!”

What happened in that one week that moved people from believing Jesus might be the long-awaited Messiah who would sit on David’s throne, overthrow Rome, and restore Israel to its rightful place in the geo-political order to thinking He was just another pretender? The Jewish people had been taught be their religious leaders to expect a particular kind of Messiah. They weren’t prepared for a king who told them exactly who He was by riding a donkey, a symbol of humility and peace, into the city.

When Jesus doesn’t do what we want or perform how we expect, we can, like the crowd, turn on Him. But, if we lean in and listen as Jesus tells us who He is, we will discover a person who can transform us.
