The Gathering Church
What we want to be about: We seek to experience, share, and teach the extravagant grace of God which transforms the lives of our members, our friends, and all who seek Him. We strive to love people incredibly well, as Jesus did, by accepting each other as we are, by serving people at their point of need, and by creating a safe environment where hospitality, love, and belonging are available to all. We encounter God through passionate worship, through cultural relevance and engagement, through service to the local community and the larger world, and through accepting and sharing God’s ongoing mercy and forgiveness. We will focus on demonstrating and sharing the message of grace with those who feel far from God and with those whose longings for God have not been satisfied through common religious experience.
