A flourishing church coming to Houston, TX in 2026.
Our Vision
We exist to help people become the most fruitful versions of themselves for the glory of Jesus.
Our Pastors
Manny & Tia Arango
After years of prayer and reflection, we’re thrilled to announce that in January 2026, we’ll be launching The Garden, a local church in the heart of the city of Houston, TX. In preparation for this church plant, the Arango family will be moving to Houston, TX in December of 2024.
For over a decade, we’ve devoted our lives to full-time ministry, serving, teaching, and helping people engage deeply with God’s Word. Our journey has taken us from youth pastoring to itinerant evangelistic ministry, to founding ARMA, a platform committed to helping Christians learn the Bible.
But through it all, our heart for the local church has remained at the core. It’s where we found our own lives transformed, where generational curses were broken, and where we discovered our purpose. Now, we believe it’s time to create that same transformative space for others in Houston, TX.

What is The Garden?
The Garden is more than a church—it’s a vision to see lives and families flourish in the heart of Houston. Inspired by God’s original design in the Garden of Eden, it’s a place where faith, community, and purpose grow together. Just as a garden needs care to thrive, we believe people flourish when they are rooted in God, nurtured by His Word, and connected to community.
Our mission is to build a diverse, spirit-filled, Bible-believing church that transforms lives and serves Houston with love and compassion. Wherever you are in your journey, we’d love for you to be part of this story.
