About Impact

The Gathering has a vision that everyone would experience the Abundant Eternal Life that Jesus promised. Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life… and have it more abundantly." (John 10:10b). However, sin separates us from the life of God and wreaks havoc on our daily lives. On our own, it is impossible to connect with God. But Jesus came to restore us to life with God. We believe that no one should suffer being separated from God. It breaks our heart that so many are living far from God and missing out on the amazing life He freely gives. Abundant Life is a life that overflows, not with more stuff, but with more of God! It's a life where you know you are loved by the Father, find your identity in Jesus, are continually filled with the Spirit, and go out to engage the World in love.  That's why we are on a mission...

The Gathering is relaunching the Impact School of Ministry and Discipleship in an effort to further the mission that everyone would experience the Abundant Eternal Life that Jesus Promised. This is the first full-time staff position in support of the new school.
