EDEN began with a mission, to lead people to follow Jesus. It’s amazing to see people without a background in church or Christianity come be a part of EDEN & experience God’s love in a personal way.
Daniel, Kayla, Cohen and Grayson moved to Silicon Valley in 2015 to start EDEN. Daniel grew up in Silicon Valley and is passionate about creating environments for people who are spiritually unengaged to find life in Jesus.

BELIEFS
GOD
We believe in one God, who unconditionally loves all people, regardless of their race, gender, or nationality. He eternally exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each person of the Trinity is fully and completely God, sharing all of the divine attributes in a perfect loving community.
Matthew 28:19 • John 1:14 • Acts 5:3-4 • 2 Corinthians 13:14 • Colossians 1:15-20 • Hebrews 1:1-3 • Revelation 1:4-6
JESUS CHRIST
We believe Jesus Christ is the perfect revelation of God to humankind. He is fully God and fully man. After voluntarily coming to earth and living a sinless life, He died on the cross as the substitute for humanity’s sin. His resurrection from the grave affirms His victory over sin and death.
Matthew 1:18-2:12 • John 1:1-18 • Romans 3:21-26 • 1 Corinthians 12 • Philippians 2:5-8 • Colossians 1:15-23 • Hebrews 1:1-13 • 1 Peter 3:18 • 1 John 1:1-2:2
SALVATION
We believe that all who trust in Jesus Christ alone as their Lord and Savior will receive the forgiveness of sins and the free gift of eternal life. True peace and fulfillment in life is only found in a relationship with Jesus.
John 3:16, 6:35-40, 10:27-30 • Romans 8:28-39 • Philippians 1:6 • 2 Timothy 2:13 1 Peter 1:3-9 • 1 John 5:11-13
HUMANITY
We believe God created humans, both male and female, in His perfect image. Because of humanity's rebellion, however, we are alienated from God. As a result, we are incapable of having a relationship with God based solely upon effort.
Genesis 1:26 • Romans 3:10-18 • Ephesians 2:1-3
THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the Holy Spirit, who indwells followers of Jesus at the point of salvation. He also equips us with spiritual gifts for serving others, and guides us in the journey to become like Christ as we relinquish control of our lives.
John 14:15-26 • Acts 2:1-33 • Romans 8:1-27 • Galatians 5:16-23 • 1 John 2:20-27
THE BIBLE
We believe the Bible to be completely true and authoritative in all areas of faith and practice. It is God-inspired and a source of strength, direction, and wisdom as we apply it to our lives.
John 17:17 • 2 Timothy 3:16 • 2 Peter 1:20-21
