The Gathering Dayton - Where Grace and People Meet

Welcome

Current Message Series

It can make one’s head spin how rapidly our world changes. Technology has invaded our world with a vengeance and forever transformed the way we live, function, and even socialize. One of the biggest 'buzz words' of recent times is called social networking. Computers and technology have even changed much of the way we interface with each other in communities. Join us in this New Year as we take a look at Faithbook: God's social network. We will be taking a closer look at how God has wired us and created us for community. Times can be confusing and challenging as culture rapidly changes around us. Yet, God's instructions are still very clear for how we can live a meaningful and fulfilling life of relationships.

CONNECTION

First we want to help people to Connect with God on an authentic basis. This is not about religious conformity or plastic clichés. No, we want people…people far from God, and people who have known Him for decades to move in close for a real, personal, and intimate relationship with Him.

COMMUNITY

Next, we want to encourage and equip people to move into a Community with Others. We need each other. Yet, for past hurts, broken trust, or personal issues, we tend to keep others at a distance. Real community, though, is the place that God has created for us to experience the journey of life. It is here that we share each other’s burdens, victories, and love.

COMPASSION

The third leg of our mission is to share Compassion with our Community. We cannot be obedient to our calling to follow Jesus Christ until we have engaged in genuine action and compassion for the least, the last, and the lost. So, we will seek to be the hands, feet, mouth, ears, and heart of Jesus to a hurting world around us. We must show them that there is a loving Savior who loves them and cares deeply for them.
