You Were Meant to
Walk in the Garden

A community being renewed by the presence of Jesus for the renewal of our city.

Our Vision

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

The Silvers

Zach and Rachel Silver are passionate about seeing people come alive in the presence of God and walk in the wholeness He intended from the beginning.

After more than a decade in ministry, they sensed God calling them to plant The Garden, a church rooted in South-Central Austin with a heart to see the love of Jesus transform lives, families, and neighborhoods one table, one story, and one encounter at a time.

The Well Austin is planting The Garden, and Zach and Rachel are honored, grateful, and deeply expectant to partner with a church they love. Being sent out by a community that has poured into their family and invested in their calling is a gift, and they're humbled to step into this new work with that covering and support.

They care deeply that The Garden would be shaped by both Word and Spirit — a community grounded in Scripture and alive to the power and presence of God.

And they are not stepping into this alone. God has gathered a courageous core team of believers who are praying, serving, giving, and building alongside them as they cultivate a community marked by prayer, authenticity, and a deep hunger for God's presence to renew the city.

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