Our mission at Gethsemane is to help people Love God & Love People.

Because Jesus welcomed all people, we are dedicated to welcoming all people of every race, culture, belief, national origin, gender, gender identity, age, marital status, family structure, sexual orientation, economic circumstance, and physical or mental ability.

All are welcome at Gethsemane, and all really means ALL!

Sermon Series:

Comeback Season.

Finding Our Way Again.

 

This five-week series will carry us through the heart of September, right alongside our fall program kickoff. It’s designed to meet you where you are — whether you’re riding high or feeling a little lost, whether you’ve been here every Sunday or are wondering if you still belong.

From Pastor TJ’s sermon this past Sunday.

“But restoration is what the rules were always pointing toward.

The Sabbath isn’t about controlling people; it’s about liberating them.

– Pastor TJ Lynch
