Building a caring community where people can hear the living Gospel and feel the love of God embodied in our presence, actions, and ministries takes profound commitment and intention. And it’s only by the dedication of faithful people who want to love as Jesus loves, serve as Jesus served, and be the messy and imperfect Body of Christ together, that our innate need for belonging and Belovedness are made manifest.

What that means and how that happens is different for each of us, so we’ve gathered the testimonies of Gethsemane members, old and new, who graciously shared how they came to call Gethsemane home and why giving is an integral piece of their faith expression. Listen to their stories here and let their witness inspire your own! Then, track your pledge below.
