At The Gathering Place Church, our passion is to connect you with a life-giving community, help you realize your full potential, and equip you to make an eternal impact.
Are you writing your
LIFE StORY
Or is life writing your story for you?
Because most of us feel like we have to accept the role life hands us. And though others get to be the action hero, the romantic lead, or the brilliant mind that changes the course of humanity... Most of us don’t feel that way. We usually feel like we have to accept our story as-is, no questions asked.
Don't go off script.
Don’t try to make a difference.
Don't ever reach for more.
And when we did try to reach for more, it looked like our story might end in tragedy. It didn’t. Because whatever we dreamed for our lives, we found Jesus had a bigger dream and a better story for us. That’s what he has for you, too.
His story for you is a God story—an intimate relationship with the King of the Universe.
It’s a freedom story—breaking loose from everything that’s held you back. It’s an overcomer’s story—God’s power working through your everyday life. And it’s an impact story—joining with others and working with Jesus to make a real difference.
We invite you to know God, experience freedom, be empowered, and change the world. We invite you to The Gathering Place: What will your story be?
Know God
Experience Freedom
Be Empowered

Mission Foundation
Our mission is based on the commands of Jesus as found in Matthew 22:36-40 and Matthew 28:18-20
Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart…soul…and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” (Matthew 22:36-40)
He said to them, “Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”. (Matthew 28:18-20)
Our Story
History
In 2011, The Gathering Place began with a desire to reach people far from God. From the pastor’s living room, the church quickly moved to Moody High School in hopes that growth would soon follow. That season of faith opened up the door to what is now a life-giving and spirit-filled church that continues to follow the call of God.
From the beginning, the name “The Gathering Place” was chosen because the vision was to establish a group of people who would be united by a common purpose, gather in a specific place to be encouraged, equipped for ministry, and then deployed to change the world. Even in seeing all of these incredible things occur, there seemed to be something missing. The leadership began to pray for more.
In January 2019, The Gathering Place Church saw a move of God’s presence that was accompanied by miracles, signs, and wonders. Many have been led to God through salvation, healing, deliverance, powerful impartation, and filling of the Spirit.
As we take steps into the “more” of God, we want to take you with us on this journey. We believe every single person can be used by God in a powerful way. Our story is one of passion to connect you with a life-giving community, help you realize your full potential, and equip you to make an eternal impact. What do you want your story to be?
