Find Hope in Community

The El Jardin movement begins October 6 – December 15

WHO WE ARE

The Episcopal Diocese of Texas is cultivating a movement of hope through community. Inspired by the image of planting a garden, El Jardín is a model where disciples grow good things together—through home-based discussion groups and shared Sunday worship.

This is a movement for the whole diocese, and everyone is invited to participate. In this first planting, our focus is to grow Hispanic community, beginning in the Fort Worth convocation.

In partnership with TryTank, our first El Jardín home groups will gather this October through December. These bilingual discussions will meet throughout Fort Worth and across the Episcopal Diocese of Texas—at varying times and locations designed to fit your schedule.

Local congregations in Fort Worth will help you connect with a group near you. Whether you're seeking spiritual depth, community connection, or a place to grow, there's a spot for you in the garden.

WHAT WE’RE DOING

In these uncertain times, many in the Hispanic community are asking big, heartfelt questions about faith, life, and belonging. El Jardín Network is here to help you explore those questions in a safe and supportive space—open to everyone and with materials provided for free. Whether you're seeking comfort, clarity, or connection, you’ll find strength in the company of a multi-church movement, all in the intimate setting of a weekly small group.
