Our Partners

We are grateful for the support and partnership of local churches who share our vision for cultivating communities where the way of Jesus is lived and shared. Churches like Westwood Community Church, Mill City Church, and North City Church have come alongside us to provide prayer, guidance, and resources as we plant and grow. Their investment reflects the beauty of the broader Church working together to see God’s kingdom flourish in our neighborhoods.

Sending Churches

Garden City Church is part of the Evangelical Covenant Church.

The Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC) is a rapidly growing multi-ethnic denomination in the United States and Canada with ministries on five continents of the world. Founded in 1885 by Swedish immigrants, the ECC values the Bible as the Word of God, the gift of God's grace and ever-deepening spiritual life that comes through faith in Jesus Christ, the importance of extending God's love and compassion to a hurting world, and the strength that comes from unity within diversity.

The Covenant affirms six emphases as central to its life and thought:
