The Gathering Dayton - Where Grace and People Meet

Welcome

No matter where you are on your life’s journey, we are glad you are here. Others have said it before us, but we live it out...we care more about where you are going than where you have been. We are a place where grace and people meet. You matter to us and, most importantly, you matter to God.

The End

Is the world getting better or is it getting worse? This is a question that preys on the minds of virtually every generation. There are forces that unnerve us and cause us uncertainty and pessimism about the future. People are filling movie theaters for movies that depict one version or another of the end of the world. However, the only real version of what is to come that matters is God’s.

Hope to see you there as we study the Revelation!

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.
