What We Believe

We are real people, who gather to celebrate real hope while facing the realities of life in the real world. The basis of our hope is that . . .

  • We believe God created us in love and seeks personal relationship with each of us. God reveals Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  • We believe the Bible is the trustworthy and solid foundation of truth. It is God’s Word revealing God’s redemptive plan for the people He loves.
  • We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human. We celebrate His life, death and resurrection as the central event of history and the sole assurance of hope for the future.
  • We believe following Jesus means acknowledging the need for forgiveness and accepting the finished work of Jesus as Savior and Lord.
  • We believe that real life, eternal life, is in Christ alone, accessed by faith alone— not through human deeds or doctrines.
  • We believe that true conversion of the heart is the power to change and bears the fruit of— joy, love, peace, self-control and a life lived on mission.
  • The Gathering exists to offer hope to everyone. We exist to help you connect with God through a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ. That’s our only agenda and our constant passion.
