Who We Are

Pastor Gene & Karen Wolfenbarger answered a divine calling to build a house of prayer centered on God’s presence, prayer, and power. From humble beginnings in community spaces to becoming a thriving family in Knoxville, The Gathering Church has been a testament to God’s grace and purpose. Through every season, our focus remains clear: to love and grow together as a family under Christ.

We Are a House of Prayer

Prayer is the heart of The Gathering Church. We are not just a church—we are a house of prayer. We create space for people to encounter God’s presence, intercede for others, and experience the transforming power of prayer. Our commitment is to raise a community that prioritizes prayer as a lifestyle. Whether through Sunday morning prayer, midweek gatherings, or fasting, we are devoted to seeking Him first.

School of Prayer: Deepen Your Walk with God

T
The most powerful thing a Christ-follower can learn is to pray and live in constant communion with the Father. Many struggle in this area, but the School of Prayer is here to guide you. Through biblical instruction, we teach the art of prayer, impart the power, protection, and purpose of prayer, and help you understand the Church as a house of prayer. This is more than learning—it’s about transformation, equipping you to live with authority, joy, and victory.

We are invited to walk in the light as He is in the light.
