Grow Your Community from the Inside Out

Discover a ready-to-run small group discipleship experience that equips your people to grow as disciples and join God’s renewing work—right where they live.

A Path to Deeper Community

Tend is a 10-week small group experience that practically runs itself. Weeks alternate between Dinner & Discussion and hands-on Earthcare Activities, offering a simple pathway toward Jesus-centered restoration and belonging.

Rooted in Scripture

Stay grounded in God’s Word through studies every other week.

Centered on a Meal

Build relationships by eating together regularly in homes.

Made for All Ages and Stages

Bring together a group of any age, gender, or ability.

Easy to Lead

Follow simple, step-by-step guides for every gathering.

Built for Connection

Slow down and notice the presence of God in the world around you.

Disconnection Is Eroding Our Spiritual Life

We were created to live in harmony with God, one another, and the Earth. But sin fractured these relationships, and still today we experience disconnection from the rhythms of creation and community that once shaped our lives and worship.

Tend invites people to become who they were created to be—rooted in relationships, growing in faith, and tending what God has planted.

Disciple by Doing

Follow Jesus with others as you engage spiritual practices that move faith from your head all the way to your hands.

Make Faith Visible

As neighbors work side by side in hands-on Earthcare Activities, others are drawn in naturally—no pressure, no programs.

Restore Relationships

Grow into a vibrant community that nurtures relationships between God, neighbors, and the Earth.

Care for God’s Creation

Connect with God in new ways and grow as a community as you practice caring for the earth through Earthcare Activities.

There are many people for whom caring for both the Earth and one’s local community can become a front door to the bigger of picture of good news found in Christ. For ten weeks of life-changing encounters with God, Earth, and others, I recommend Tend.

This is a great resource to use as a diving board to looking at earthcare as discipleship. It’s theologically sound, asks good questions, and is focused on community-growing.
