Who we are
The Garden United Methodist Church is a committed community of Christ-followers growing in our love of God and neighbor as we seek to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
We celebrate God’s gift of diversity and value the wholeness made possible in community equally shared and shepherded by all. We welcome and affirm people of every gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation, who are also of every age, race, ethnicity, physical and mental ability, level of education, and family structure, and of every economic, immigration, marital, and social status, and so much more.
We acknowledge that we live in a world of profound social, economic, and political inequities. As followers of Jesus, we commit ourselves to the pursuit of justice and pledge to stand in solidarity with all who are marginalized and oppressed. We believe that each person is a unique and valued part of God’s creation.
We are an island of misfit toys and no matter what, you are loved by Jesus Christ and welcome among the garden.

Our Vision
"The Garden shall reach out and celebrate all people through personal and spiritual relationships in community, in service, in love, in understanding, and in Jesus Christ."

The Garden United Methodist Church History
The Garden is a new church that came into existence in 2018 through the merging of two United Methodist congregations: St. Johns and Fairmont Park UMC. The Garden is an inclusive congregation that is seeking to sow love and to make disciples of Jesus Christ in the East Little Creek Community. We have sought to make disciples through social media and online groups as well as through in person engagement. Making disciples is our future, it is our whole story and our purpose.
