About The Garden Community Church
The Garden Community Church is a reconciling United Methodist ministry located in Indianapolis that embraces a progressive spiritual approach blending the sacred and secular. Founded in 1995 by Dr. Linda McCoy and now led by Rev. Dr. Carolyn Scanlan-Holmes, the church welcomes people of all backgrounds and faith perspectives without agenda, seeking to create a comforting space where diverse spiritual journeys are honored. Services feature live music performed by The Good Earth Band, incorporating popular secular songs alongside spiritual messaging inspired by the life of Jesus. The Garden emphasizes inclusiveness, spiritual growth, creativity, and social equity, affirming the dignity and worth of every person regardless of religious affiliation. Children are encouraged to participate in services, with simultaneous programming available during worship. Those seeking a different kind of church experience—one that is spiritual rather than religious, accepting rather than judgmental, and inclusive rather than exclusive—will find community at The Garden.
