Triumphant Love Lutheran Church stewards the ground of a beautiful outdoor space in urban Austin, Texas. They utilize their grounds to inpsire a deep love of creation in their community of all ages!
They have hiking trails that lead to prayer path and meditation (“resurrection”) garden. They also have an outdoor worship area to celebrate the Summer & Winter Solstices and the Spring & Fall Equinoxes. Other special Outdoor Worship experiences include Terra Divina which is a contemplative spiritual practice of “sacred reading” of the natural world. They partnered with their preschool to create a sensory garden for the youngest community members, allowing them to touch and crawl among plants while experiencing God’s creation.
Other best practices of this church include:
- using Fair Trade coffee in all church activities
- using compostable plates and cups in church functions
Triumphant Love is also the home congregation of Water to Thrive (W2T) (https://www.watertothrive.org) which has constructed nearly 1,700 water wells in rural Africa over the last 15 years.
