What a night to remember!
 God met us in such a powerful way at our Pop Up last night, and we are in awe of what He’s building in Houston. From the Spirit-filled worship to the on-time Word from Pastor @mannyarango, God’s presence was unmistakable.

@iamjoe_l — thank you for leading us in worship that prepared our hearts for everything God wanted to do in the room.

To every person who prayed, served, invited, and showed up — we see you, we honor you, and we’re so grateful. The Garden is growing, and this is just the beginning! taken in Houston, Texas by @mannyarango

“If you build it, He will come.” And He did.

Last night, every song, every prayer, every heart — all pointed to one thing: Jesus.

This was never about a crowd — it’s about creating a space where the King of Glory can dwell.

This garden is planted for the glory of God. taken in Houston, Texas by @mannyarango

There’s only one name worthy of all the glory, all the honor, and all the praise.
 There’s only one name that carried us through every trial, every delay, and every moment that required faith. 
There’s only one name responsible for the planting of The Garden. And His name is JESUS.

And as we step into launch week, our hearts remain the same: all glory belongs to Him.

If you want to be part of what God is doing in this city—join us! We can’t wait to welcome you home! Comment “LAUNCH” to RSVP!

THIS is what it’s all about.

Yesterday we got to celebrate lives changed, old things made new, and people boldly saying YES to Jesus.

Baptism is more than a moment—it’s a public declaration of a decision that changes everything. A picture of leaving the old behind and stepping into the new life God has called you to.

Every person. Every story. Every yes. Heaven is celebrating, and so are we.

We’ll never get tired of seeing moments like these! taken in Houston, Texas by @mannyarango

You don’t have to clean yourself up before coming to God!

So often, we think we need to fix everything and become a better version of ourselves before we’re ready for Him. But that’s not how grace works.

Baptism isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about choosing to follow Jesus and surrendering your life to Him.

You don’t clean the house before inviting Him in. You open the door and trust Him to do the transforming. taken in Houston, Texas by @mannyarango

Look at what the Lord has done!🤍

Today, we celebrated Baptism Sunday, and over 170 people made the decision to publicly declare their faith in Jesus.

Some came prepared to take this step. Some made the decision during service. Some said yes in the moment.

And every single story is a reminder that God is still moving, still drawing people to Himself, and still changing lives.

We’re so grateful for every yes, every story, and every life that is choosing to follow Jesus.

This is what it looks like when people flourish!

Are you as patient with the process as He is with the process? 🌿

God knows what He designed you to sound like.

Just like that piece of wood had to be sanded, shaped, and refined before it could release the sound it was created for, God is patiently working in you.

Don’t give up on the process just because it’s taking longer than you expected. He hasn’t given up on you.

Stay under His hand. Let Him shape you. Trust that He knows what He’s doing! taken in Houston, Texas by @mannyarango

The sanding hurts, but the oil runs deep.

Sometimes He gets us right where He needs us, only to change the grit level. It’s uncomfortable. It stretches us. But oil only penetrates what has been prepared, and the process is only revealing the grain He designed from day one!

You aren’t breaking; you’re being prepared to carry His presence.
