PRAY. SERVE. GATHER
Find a Place For You
At The Gathering, we want everyone to know they are welcomed, valued, and have a place here. Whether you’re a high school student looking for friends to grow in faith with, a young adult seeking community, or a family wanting to build your home on faith, there’s a place for you at The Gathering.
GSTUDENTS
Our goal is to create an environment where students love to come, know they belong, and grow in their relationship with God and one another.
Wednesday Nights
Every Wednesday, students gather to worship, grow through Scripture, build meaningful friendships, and have fun together. It’s a place to encounter God, ask questions, build relationships, and enjoy being a student.
Students & Prayer
For grades 6–12, we use prayer as a framework for helping students know God, understand what matters to Him, and invite Him into every part of their lives.
Students will learn to:
Know God as Father — Build a personal relationship with Him.
Put God First — Let His priorities shape their lives.
Invite God Into Their World — Pray about their relationships, schools, decisions, and communities.
Trust God With Their Future — Seek His wisdom and direction.
Bring Their Needs to God — Talk to Him about their pressures, fears, and needs.
Practice Forgiveness — Receive forgiveness and learn to forgive others.
Ask God for Strength — Seek His wisdom, courage, protection, and strength.
GKIDS
In GKIDS, children are cared for and taught each week by dedicated leaders and volunteers in a loving, safe environment.
We help children begin to understand who God is, recognize His goodness, trust His plans, bring Him their needs, ask for forgiveness, make wise choices, and look to Him for help and protection.
Our goal is not simply to teach children what to say when they pray, but to help them grow comfortable talking with God, trusting His care, and developing a relationship with Him that deepens as they grow.
We want to give every child a strong foundation for a lifelong prayer life in a way that is meaningful and appropriate for their age.
Nursery
We provide loving care so parents can participate in the teaching of God’s Word. Leaders and volunteers spend time playing, singing, and praying with the children.
Preschool
We introduce these truths through simple language, repetition, songs, Bible stories, activities, play, and short prayers they can understand and remember.
Elementary
We help children put these truths into their own words and connect them to everyday life at home, school, and with friends through games, small groups, Bible stories, worship, and prayer.
*Every person serving with our children completes a background check, and we take the safety and well-being of every child seriously.*
WAYS TO JOIN
Ready to Join a Group?
SMALL GROUPS
Small Groups at The Gathering are for anyone who wants to build meaningful relationships with other believers while growing in their faith. Small Groups provide a relaxed and welcoming place to gather, share a meal, enjoy fellowship, and grow together in prayer and God’s Word. Each group uses short, guided studies that encourage conversation, allow people to share openly, and help us discover important biblical truths for everyday Christian living. More than simply another meeting, Small Groups are a place to belong, build relationships, encourage one another, and grow together as followers of Jesus.
DISCIPLESHIP
Discipleship begins with a personal relationship with God—knowing our Father in Heaven, spending time with Him daily, learning to hear His voice, and choosing to follow Him. At The Gathering, Connect Class is the starting place for those who want to be discipled and intentionally grow in their faith. Connect Class is held once a month immediately following a Sunday service, with lunch and childcare provided when needed. You will have the opportunity to be paired with a spiritual mentor, attend GROW Classes, and join a small group designed to help you grow through Scripture, prayer, relationship, and practical discipleship teaching. Our desire is not simply to help people know more about God, but to help them know Him, hear Him, follow Him, and become more like Jesus.
