You Were Meant to
Walk in the Garden

A community shaped by Word and Spirit to carry the mission of Jesus.

Our Vision

We exist to see the glory of Christ fill Austin, where skeptics become worshipers, the broken are made whole, and the church becomes a radiant display of grace and truth.

Our Pastors

The Silvers

Zach and Rachel Silver long to see people come alive in the presence of God and walk in the wholeness He intended. After more than a decade in ministry, they sensed God leading them to plant The Garden in Austin, a church centered on the love of Jesus transforming lives, families, and neighborhoods one table and one encounter at a time.

They are grateful to be sent by The Well Austin (link to The Well website), a church that has poured into their family and affirmed their calling. Their desire is to cultivate a community shaped by Word and Spirit to carry the mission of Jesus.

They aren’t doing this alone. God has gathered a courageous core team who are praying, serving, giving, and building with them as this new church takes root.

Together with their kids Judah, Eden, and Olive, Zach and Rachel are planting The Garden with open hands and full hearts, trusting Jesus to pour out His presence like fresh rain on thirsty ground.

Our Mission

We are cultivating a gospel-centered, Spirit-filled community devoted to making disciples, building community, and transforming neighborhoods in Austin.

We are currently gathering as a house church and aiming for a public launch on March 29, 2026.
