BEHIND THE NAME
Eden was perfect. There was nothing separating God and man: no sin, no shame, no fear. In the garden, Adam and Eve were their truest selfs; they knew God and were fully known by God and walked with Him in the cool of day (Genesis 3:8). We believe we were all created for eden: the place of full communion with God, where there’s nothing separating us from Him and we become fully who we were made to be. Our hope is that through our lives and ministry, we would bring you back to your eden and inspire you to live wholehearted and intentional lives.

She is a stay-at-home mom, coffee shop manager, graphic designer, artist and Youtuber and is passionate about creating beautiful things and helping others discover the gold inside of them.
Meet Luke
Luke grew up homeschooled and spent much of his childhood playing music. Music became his ticket to travel the world visiting 19 countries, with his adventures in Zambia and Zimbabwe in particular making a significant impact on his life. He graduated from CSU Stanislaus in 2016 with a double major in music – BM in Music Education and BA in Music Technology. After graduating, he became a JH/HS technology teacher and then transitioned to being a church Tech Director. When Zion was born, Luke stepped down from his full time position to focus on being a father and husband while also building Created for Eden to pursue what he is most passionate about – inspiring others to live intentionally.
