gatherings
In the bible the word “church” simply means a “set apart gathering of people.” Historically, the Christians would gather in homes, public spaces, and only later would construct the types of buildings we see today. These gatherings happened anywhere and anytime as a space for them to glorify God, equip, and encourage one another. In modern American church culture, however, a gathering is reduced to a centralized one-hour Sunday morning experience. We’ve found that modern definition to be too limiting to effectively engage with Christians and our broader communities. Hebrews 10:25 instructs us to "not neglect meeting together.” Whether through a worship service or special event, each gathering is intentionally created with the mission--make disciples and evangelize--as the focus.
Below are all of the gatherings and events happening this month.
