House of Prayer

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.

Discipleship Track: Deepen Your Walk with God

T

he most powerful thing a believer can learn is the power of prayer—living in constant communion with the Father. At the School of Prayer, we teach prayer as Jesus modeled it through the Lord’s Prayer, revealing the heart of how and why we pray.

Through biblical instruction, spiritual disciplines, and one-on-one discipleship, we guide believers into a transformed life of daily communion with God. This is more than learning—it’s transformation, equipping you to pray and live with clarity, authority, joy, and victory.

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