Love God.

Love People.

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!

Wherever you are in your journey of faith we are here to help you experience radical inclusion, vibrant worship, intentional faith formation, and compassionate service.

4th Sunday after Easter

April 26th, 2026

This is Not the End of Your Story

How faith shows up in the small things
Why compassion matters, even when it’s riskey
What it means to trust God when it takes time
How gratitude can transform us
Why prayer is worth holding onto

From Pastor TJ’s sermon this past Sunday on Luke’s version of the Road to Emmaus:

“Transformation begins when we stop trying to remake Jesus…and allow Jesus to remake us.“

– Pastor TJ Lynch
