Our Vision & Mission

The Gathering vision is reflected in our Mission Statement which declares that: “Our Mission is to build up the body of Christ spiritually and numerically through Worship, Evangelism, Discipleship/Small Groups, and fulfilling the Great Commission.”

1) We believe spiritual transformation takes place through God empowered preaching / teaching.

SCRIPTURE: "…When the people heard this (Peter's anointed sermon), they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, 'Brothers, what shall we do?' Peter replied, 'Repent and be baptized, every one of you…and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." ~~ Acts 2:37,38

SCRIPTURE: "For the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any double edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." ~~ Hebrews 4:12

• We believe the Word of God is not only totally true but that it is the primary change agent in people's lives.
• "God empowered" teaching means preaching/teaching that is empowered by the Holy Spirit from preparation to presentation.
• We believe God empowered teaching/preaching must be balanced.
