Eden Community

Mission: God has called us together to be a family, an ecosystem of grace, not simply for the sake of ourselves but to be a blessing for the world. The following statements represent the specific ways that we are called to bless the world together as a family.
Our Vision (The great need in the world to which we are called):
To live in and for God’s joy as a vibrant family of Jesus so that such communities are cultivated in close reach of everyone.
Our Mission (How our community can meet the need described in our Vision):
To discover and embody what it means to be a vibrant family of Jesus – an ecosystem of God’s gifts – and to train others to share this way of life.
Our Aim (What we are doing, near term, to fulfill our Mission):
To take the steps necessary to purchase, build, and begin full-time operation of the Eden Center by January 2017.

The Eden Community is a Christian intentional community located in Abilene, TX. We are in the process of building an cohousing ecovillage, permaculture farm, and retreat/training facility called the Eden Center in the mesas of the Callahan Divide about 20 miles Southeast of town. Currently our community consists of three families, totaling six adults and four children, and we are actively pursuing new members who fit with our values, mission, and way of life.
