What is Eden Spiritual Care?

In the Garden of Eden, people lived in intimate, harmonious relationship with God and with each other.

This intimacy and harmony does not come naturally anymore.

Yet Jesus invites us to pursue God's kingdom on earth.

This pursuit of God's kingdom on earth is like a quest to bring back the intimacy and harmony of Eden.

Eden Spiritual Care exists to support and encourage you on this journey.

The mission of Eden Spiritual Care is to provide Christ-centered mentoring, guidance, and education that draws people into more intimate, harmonious relationship with God, with people, and with self.
