Change can bring up lots of thoughts, questions, and feelings—and we want to make space for all of it. Whether it's with church leaders, in your community, or in your own heart, we are praying that you will lean in to the conversation and do your part to Become GardenCity.



Pastor Curtis and other leaders are hosting a series of casual Pastor Chats—some in person, some online—where we’ll share more of the heart behind the transition, answer your questions, and walk through this season as a church family.

As you process this transition personally and with others, consider these reflection questions:

• How have you seen GardenCity themes already present personally and in our community?
• As we've journeyed through the series, The Garden and The City, what aspects of this imagery speak most to your own faith journey?
• I'm curious what possibilities you see in this identity...
• How have you experienced God's work through Faith Family Church in your life and in our community?
• What are you grateful for about our journey so far, and what are you looking forward to as we continue?

Remember, this isn't merely about changing a name—it's about embracing who we're becoming together and inviting our community into a deeper understanding of who God has called us to be.

Journey Inward

Give yourself space to process your own thoughts and emotions.

Listen Deeply

Create space for both excitement and questions.

Share Authentically

Reflect on what GardenCity means to you personally.

Wonder Together

Explore the possibilities this identity might hold.

Rest in the Process

Remember you don't need all the answers—we're discovering together.

We recognize that with growth can come both joy and grief—and that's sacred, too! Check out the Questions You Might Have page if this processing prompts questions!
