Grow your church
from the ground up
We are excited to offer you an exclusive opportunity to join a limited beta group for a new church outreach program called Tend.
Neighbors
Tend starts with 4-5 individuals or households in a small group to share meals, study Scripture, and join in local hands-on restoration projects. The groups can be inclusive of all ages and stages.
Instead of asking people to invite neighbors to church, Tend helps them live their faith where neighbors already are: on the front porch, around the dinner table, and in the garden – growing your church from the ground up.
You’ll get all the tools you need to make your faith visible.
- Leader Orientation
- Bible Discovery Curriculum
- Hospitality Instructions
- Activity Options with Guides
- Optional Coaching Calls
Where growth
takes root
Tangible acts of service are paired with Scripture, prayer, and reflection through a discipleship curriculum called Tend the Garden, that helps people see themselves as partners in Jesus’ renewal of all creation.
Groups practice a rhythm of hands-on activities and Bible discovery that alternate weekly for 9-10 weeks:
