THERE  IS  A  PLACE  FOR  YOU  HERE

We'll keep it real  &  free lunch is always provided

Because of Jesus, we can admit we’re imperfect and be honest about our weaknesses.  
We're not pretending to be perfect. 
We're not trying to be religious. 
We're just trying to help each other get closer to God.

Begin your journey towards abundant life today

TAKE THE  LIFE  CLASS

The Abundant LIFE Class is the perfect 1st step at the Gathering.  This is a four-hour class offered once a quarter that will help you dive into the four fundamentals of living the abundant life Jesus promised. . Lunch and childcare are provided. 

JOIN A GROUP

Authentic Community is where life-changing growth actually happens. Shepherds lead small groups we call Home Gatherings all over the county every week. This is an awesome time to grow in relationship with others, sure, but our groups go way beyond casually hanging out. 

MAKE  A  DIFFERENCE

One of the most important steps we can take in our spiritual lives is to start serving others. It gets our focus off of ourselves and helps us experience the reality of God working though us to help others. We have lots of places during the week and Sundays where you can get plugged in and use your gifts.
