Gatherings

WHAT IS A GATHERING?
In a Gathering you will meet friends-for-life, people with common needs, people who will encourage you, rejoice with you, and pray with you.
Our Gatherings also help you take take the timeless truth of God’s Word and bringing it to life in your life.

Led by a facilitator, each Gathering is designed to help you grow as a believer, to help you have victory in your daily walk with the Lord, and to serve Him with your own unique gifts and talents.

Whatever your age or stage in life, there’s a group for you. So select a class, grab a cup of coffee, build some relationships, relax, meet people just like you, investigate the Bible and grow spiritually.

WHY DO WE HAVE GATHERINGS?
  • Fellowship. Surveys show that the number one reason adults come to such groups is for fellowship. Relationships! Getting to know others. Therefore, the Gathering is built around it and so is the Bible study.
  • Bible. Gatherings help adults to study God’s Word and apply it. We desire for you not only to believe the Bible, but to apply it in life.
  • Ministry. Gatherings present opportunities to fulfill some of the commands of the Bible related to caring about others.
WHICH GATHERING SHOULD I ATTEND?
