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 and Amos, 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 Southern California with campuses in both Huntington Beach and Costa Mesa. Most of the teachings on this site will be from this beautiful community.
I’m a writer.
I write for pastors, leaders, and everyday disciples who want to think deeply, lead well, and live out their faith with conviction and courage.
