Start here.
What is The House of Eden™?
The House of Eden™ is an assembly of disciples anchored in Jesus Christ and formed through Scripture, prayer, the Holy Spirit, and authentic Christian community.
We exist to build disciples, equip leaders, and participate in the restoration of communities by helping people grow in Christ and faithfully steward what He has entrusted to them.
Is The House of Eden™ a church?
No. The House of Eden™ is not a local church and is not intended to replace participation in a healthy local church community.
We are a Christ-centered discipleship assembly creating spaces for Scripture, prayer, spiritual formation, mentorship, Christian community, service, and leadership development.
Is The House of Eden™ affiliated with a denomination?
The House of Eden™ is not organized around a particular denominational identity.
Jesus Christ is the foundation of this House. Scripture is our biblical authority, and we desire to gather disciples from across the Body of Christ around what is central to the Christian faith.
Read Our Biblical Foundation →What does “formation” mean at The House of Eden™?
Formation is the ongoing work of becoming more like Christ.
We believe discipleship is more than receiving biblical information. The Word should renew our minds, shape our character, deepen our discernment, and influence how we live, love, lead, serve, and steward.
Explore Mission, Formation & Impact →Different pathways. One foundation.
Each doorway serves a distinct community or discipleship need, while remaining anchored in Jesus Christ.
What is Around Our Father’s Table™?
Around Our Father’s Table™ is our public virtual Bible gathering for brothers and sisters in Christ.
We open Scripture together, ask questions, study the Word, learn the nature and character of our Heavenly Father, grow in discernment, pray the Word, and seek to live what we have received.
Read the Word. Study the Word. Know Our Father. Pray the Word. Live the Word.
You do not need extensive Bible knowledge to participate. There is room at the Table whether you are opening Scripture for the first time or have followed Jesus for many years.
Reserve Your Seat →What is E.V.E.™?
E.V.E.™ — The Empowered Violet Experience™ — is a Christ-centered discipleship and development experience for young women in a season of becoming.
E.V.E.™ creates intentional space for growth in identity in Christ, Scripture, prayer, discernment, stewardship, leadership, mentorship, practical preparation, and faithful witness.
Explore E.V.E.™ →What is A.D.A.M.™?
A.D.A.M.™ stands for Advancement & Discipleship of Anchored Men™.
It is a Christ-centered assembly of mature and maturing men growing through Scripture, prayer, discipleship, brotherhood, accountability, spiritual formation, stewardship, and servant leadership.
Explore A.D.A.M.™ →What is The Violet Hour™?
The Violet Hour™ is an invitation-based assembly of mature and maturing women in Christ.
Women gather to seek God before serving the world through Scripture, prayer, intercession, discernment, sisterhood, spiritual formation, and spiritual motherhood.
Seek God Before Serving.

Do I have to choose a doorway before reaching out?
No.
You may know that you are seeking prayer, Scripture, discipleship, mentorship, community, service, or direction without knowing where you fit within the House.
Begin the conversation. Share what brought you here, and we can prayerfully help you consider an appropriate next step.
Begin The Conversation →Do I need to be spiritually mature to participate?
No.
People enter the House at different places in their walk with Christ. Some gatherings are public and accessible across stages of spiritual growth, while other assemblies are designed for particular seasons of formation.
Around Our Father’s Table™ is an excellent place to begin if you simply want to open Scripture and grow.
Is everything invitation-only?
No.
Some expressions of the House, including Around Our Father’s Table™, are public.
Other assemblies may be invitation-based or begin with a conversation so that the purpose, intimacy, and spiritual culture of the gathering can be stewarded well.
Are gatherings virtual or in person?
Many of our regular gatherings currently take place virtually, allowing people to participate from different communities and locations.
The House may also gather in person through community outreach, prayer gatherings, service opportunities, workshops, conferences, and other special gatherings.
Anchored in Christ.
Do I have to belong to a particular church to participate?
No.
The House welcomes people from different Christian church traditions who desire to grow in Christ and participate respectfully within the biblical foundation and spiritual culture of the House.
Does The House of Eden™ replace my local church?
No.
The House is intended to complement, not replace, healthy participation in the local church.
We value the broader Body of Christ and encourage disciples to remain connected to healthy Christian community, pastoral care, worship, and biblical teaching.
What role does discernment play in the House?
Discernment is an important part of Christian formation.
As we know Scripture, we grow in our understanding of God's nature, character, truth, and ways.
A mind increasingly formed by the Word is better equipped to recognize what aligns with God and what contradicts His truth.
This shapes how we approach teachings, relationships, opportunities, influences, decisions, and everyday life.
There is more than one way to serve.
Can I volunteer without joining a doorway?
Yes.
Community outreach and service create opportunities to participate in the mission without first belonging to a particular discipleship assembly.
Opportunities may include community prayer, service projects, outreach initiatives, events, and other practical ways of serving our neighbors.
Can my church, organization, or business partner with the House?
Yes.
We welcome conversations with churches, ministries, schools, organizations, businesses, mentors, professionals, community leaders, and others whose work aligns with the mission.
Begin A Partnership Conversation →Can I financially support The House of Eden™?
Yes. Financial gifts help support ministry operations, discipleship resources, community outreach, gatherings, and the continued development of the House.
Please use our current giving or partnership information for details about supporting the work.
