Oliver & Karissa Parsons

In August 2024, we felt a distinct invitation from God to consider planting a church in the city. After seven years of pastoring in Kelowna, we have a deep love for our city, and a deep love for the local church.

Garden Church is a community seeking to follow Jesus together by aligning our lives with the truth of his teaching and the rhythms of his life. As we do this, not only will our lives flourish, but our neighborhoods and city with it. 

We envision Garden Church as a community that gathers on Sundays, but then scatters into the city as we take our faith into our homes, small groups, work, play-groups, university campus and more. Whether you’re curious about Jesus, new to faith, or looking for a church family to grow with, we’re so excited you’re here and look forward to walking with you as we follow Jesus together.
