What we Believe
The Gathering Place passionately reaches out to people who are far from God by connecting with people and showing them God’s timeless truths. Our approach is not traditional by any means but spirit contemporary: culturally relevant without being spiritually irrelevant. We believe in and maintain a conservative biblical position while always making room for Holy Spirit to move.
