See Inside the Tend Experience
Walk Through the Journey
Tend’s 10-week journey alternates between Dinner & Discussion and Earthcare Activities. Ready-to-run guides help your people explore the simple rhythm of shared meals, Scripture, and hands-on practice that shapes every Tend group.
Grow Through God's Word
Learn from Scripture and live it together. During Dinner & Discussion nights, people share a meal, reflect on God’s Word, and pray. Together, you’ll journey with Jesus through four garden moments that trace a biblical arc from Genesis to Revelation. You’ll discover more about how you were made to join God’s renewing work in the world.
Explore Earthcare Activities
Grow closer to God by caring for creation. Groups invite neighbors to join in a hands-on Earthcare Activity designed to build relationships, create moments to talk about God, and live out what it means to be part of creation—and care for it too.
Sacred Hike
Embark on a guided walk designed to build community with neighbors and help people connect to their part in God’s creation.
Meetup Cleanup
Pick up trash together to improve the health and life of your community.
Farmhand Friends
Gather with friends and neighbors to tend the soil and serve a grower, farmer, gardener, or orchardist in your community.
Compost Challenge
Collect food scraps from neighbors in this multi-week challenge for groups that aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty.
Feed the Birds
Invite neighbors to make and refill natural bird feeders as you support local wildlife and build relationships.
Thrifty Swap
Partner with neighbors to plan a second-hand clothing pop-up shop to refresh wardrobes in a way that cares for the Earth.
Design Your Own
Blaze your own trail by designing an Earthcare Activity that helps you partner with neighbors and connect to your part in God’s creation.
Formation that Starts with Your Hands
Tend is designed for real life, helping people live their faith around dinner tables, front porches, and neighborhood gardens.
"Tend is an absolute gift to the church! This ten-week program is a richly scriptural way to cultivate community, connect with our neighbors, and care for God’s good Earth. It includes everything you need, it’s designed for all ages, and it’s free. What’s not to love?!"
