We call ourselves Gathering Church because we want to continually remind each other and everyone that we meet that church is not something that we attend, but something that we are. Saying that we are a part of the Church is saying that we are a part of something that is alive, functioning with purpose and accomplishing the great mission that Jesus set before us.

When we come together for a small group Bible study, or for a larger worship time we recognize that we are nothing more (or less) than a gathering of Jesus’ Church that is scatter throughout the city. In coming together we form one body of believers that do life together and serve Jesus individually and corporately.

I am continually reminded that the Church is so much more than one meeting, or one service. The Church is a living representation of Jesus, serving our community as He enables us.
