We are a gathering of people, just like you, looking to connect with the Father, to honor His Word and to live a life of compassion and gratitude for who He is and what God has done for us. Whether you are new to church, looking for a fresh start, or searching for God this season we invite you to join us on Sundays for authentic connection, compassion and community. We desire to brush close to the Savior through powerful teaching, reading of The Word and extravagant times of worship. Come, we've saved a spot for you!

We hope that you joined us on Sunday, December 13th for an original stage play called, The Prophecy Fulfilled written by Alan Bomar Jones for the friends and family of The Gathering! Sunday we traveled back through time to interact with two prophets, Anna and Simeon, from the first century, who were priviledged to meet the Promised One, the Messiah. Their story, which is preserved for us in the New Testament book of Luke was brought to life through drama, music and dance. If you missed services on Sunday be sure to order your DVD by calling the church office at 937-886-0737.
Becky Barrett-Jones: Anna, Alan Bomar Jones: Simeon (If you missed it be sure to order your DVD of the entire service.)
Our featured actors are Alan Bomar Jones and his wife, Becky Barrett-Jones, who have been a part of the Gathering community for three years. You've seen Alan on screen and live in person acting in several dramatic presentations. And you can often find Becky singing on the Praise Team.
