Who are we

Our mission here at The Gathering is to build communities of empowered Christians.

our three values

Grace from God The Gathering is all about the GRACE of God.
As believers, we receive the radical grace of God and are forever changed.
We receive His grace personally, share it publicly, and extend it to others daily.
For all have have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by His grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.ROMANS 3:23-24 (ESV)
Growth through God
The Gathering is all about experiencing GROWTH through God. Holistic growth is the product of the Holy Spirit dwelling within each believer. Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good..1 PETER 2:2-3 (ESV)
Glory to God
The Gathering is all about giving God the GLORY for what is taking place in our lives. As sons and daughters of God, we live lives that praise and worship Him for all He has done for us.
We do this together and in private. For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be glory\forever. Amen. ROMANS 11:36 (ESV)

What we believe

  • In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
  • In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
  • That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. That He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor.
  • That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins.
  • That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
  • In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost.
  • Holiness to be God’s standard of living for His people.
  • In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is evident by the fruit and gifts of the Holy Spirit.
  • In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
  • In the Lord’s Supper and washing of the saints’ feet.
  • In the premillennial second coming of Jesus. First, to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years.
  • In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked.
