About me.
Darren Rouanzoin has lived in Southern California his whole life and moved to Long Beach, CA, in 2008 to plant Garden Church with his wife, Alex. Alex and Darren have been married for 17 years and have two wild and free boys, Ezra (10) and Amos (7); and love to camp, surf, hike, paddle board, and adventure as a family. Darren is the Lead Pastor of Garden Church, a community in the heart of one of the most diverse cities in the US. Darren’s passion and vision are to make resilient disciples who are formed in the way of Jesus and empowered by the Holy Spirit to live a naturally supernatural lifestyle.
I'm the lead pastor of the Garden Church.
Garden is a vibrant church in downtown Long Beach. Most of the teachings on this site will be from this beautiful community.
I’m a writer.
This site will be home to my blog that reflects my personal perspective, it will not necessarily reflect the full leadership of the Garden Church. With that said, I hope you enjoy and find greater peace and grace in our Lord Jesus Christ.
I'm a speaker and teacher.
I’ve shared my experience and knowledge from platforms for 15 years. I’m passionate about sharing the love and grace of Jesus, as well as the ways I’ve walked it out myself and with community. If you’re interested in having me as a guest teacher at your church, conference, or retreat you can connect with me here.
