ABOUT US
AT GATHER CHURCH, OUR GOAL:
...is to glorify God in everything we do. With this in mind, we prioritize relationships:
WITH GOD
We want to help Christians grow to maturity in Christ through the chapter-by-chapter, verse-by-verse study of the Bible, worship, prayer, and community.
​
“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” 2 Peter 3:18
​
WITH EACH OTHER
We strive to bring Christians together to love and serve one another for the building up of the Body of Christ.
“...speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.” Ephesians 4:15-16
WITH THE WORLD
We equip Christians to engage those around them with the Gospel.
​
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes...” Romans 1:16
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Although the methods we use to convey the Good News to our culture often change, God and His Word never do.
These are our foundational beliefs as a church:
​
-
We believe that the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God and that men were moved by the Spirit of God to write the very words of Scripture. Therefore, we believe the Bible is without error.
-
We believe in one personal God who exists eternally in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, equal in power, authority and glory.
​
-
We believe Jesus Christ to be the virgin born Son of God who lived in flesh, died for the sins of the world, was buried, rose again bodily, and ascended to the Father.
​
-
We believe in the Holy Spirit who regenerates and indwells every believer in Jesus, assures us of our salvation, guides us into all truth, glorifies Jesus and convicts of sin, righteousness and judgment. He comforts us, gives us spiritual gifts, and empowers us for service.
​
-
We believe that all people were created in the image of God to have fellowship with him but became alienated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, people are incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through their own efforts.
​
-
We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the only way for the forgiveness of sin. God freely offers salvation to those who place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin. Salvation cannot be earned, it is a gift from God.
​
-
We believe in the universal church, the body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head. The members of the church are those who have trusted by faith in the finished work of Christ. The purpose of the church is to glorify God by loving him, obeying Him and bringing the gospel to the world.
​
-
We believe in the personal, visible return of Christ to the earth and the establishing of His Kingdom, in the resurrection of the body, and the final judgment. We believe that our eternal destination of either heaven or hell is determined by our response to the Lord Jesus Christ.
