About Bella Eden
Restful, Grace, Relationships
Welcome to Bella Eden, a Christ-centered church in the heart of Austin, Texas. We’re a community that believes church is more than a Sunday event — it’s a family. At Bella Eden, we value people over programs, relationships over institutions, and the simple gospel of Jesus Christ over building our own brand.
Here, life is about rest, grace, peace, and connection — not striving, performance, or perfection. We believe that the gospel isn’t complicated, and it’s not about checking boxes. It’s about knowing Jesus and living out His love together in our everyday lives.
Our Story
Bella Eden was born out of a divine call from Jesus Christ and the shared vision of Chris and Crystaline, who founded the church in 2013. What started as a small gathering in the SpiderHouse Ballroom on the Drag near UT Austin quickly grew into a vibrant community united by a single passion: sharing the finished work of Jesus with the city and beyond.
From the very beginning, our heart has been to serve — to serve our city, to serve the poor, and to serve the nations in need of justice. This calling has led us beyond Austin’s city limits, partnering with ministries like Jeremiah’s Family Ministries in Kenya to care for orphans and widows. Every step of the journey has been fueled by the belief that love looks like action — and that the Kingdom of God is built through relationships, generosity, and grace.
What We Believe
At Bella Eden, our mission is simple:
-
To center everything on Jesus Christ.
-
To build a community where relationships thrive.
-
To create space for rest, peace, and renewal.
-
To share the good news of the gospel with our city and the world.
We’re not about big stages or flashy events as much about creating a place where people can encounter Jesus, find belonging, and grow together as a family.
