The Garden Community Church

About this church

The Garden Community Church in Indianapolis gathers for worship on Sundays at 9 a.m. in the sanctuary at First Congregational United Church of Christ Indy, 7171 North Pennsylvania Street, and also offers an online option. The service blends the sacred and the secular, with popular secular songs played live by a band called The Good Earth Band and messages that draw inspiration from the life of Jesus. The church describes itself as a reconciling ministry of the United Methodist Church. It became independent in 2016, was chartered in 2017, and says it is open and affirming to people of any background or belief.

Children are encouraged to attend with their parents or caretakers, and children's programming runs at the same time as the service, though child care is not available. A Hospitality Team can answer questions and help first-time visitors get oriented. The calendar lists a Together to Gather time on Sundays at 10 a.m. Involvement includes a Faith in Action Team, a Comfort and Care Team, an Outreach Team, and a grant program called The Garden Gives. Members also volunteer at community meal events. The calendar shows social nights, a pitch-in meal with art, speaker series, and discussion groups. The site also offers a weekly bulletin and a path to official membership. Confirm current times and events on the website before visiting.
