The Gathering Church
A Place For You And Your Family
No matter what you’ve been through or where you come from, you are welcome here. Join us for a Sunday gathering and see why God’s family is no ordinary family.
A Place For You And Your Family
WHEN YOU VISIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, WE WANT YOU TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU’RE IN FOR!
Expect us to be ready for you. We think our Guests are VIPs and we want to show you the VIP
treatment. Our VIP team will direct you to preferred parking and be ready to give you a tour,
help you find a seat and answer any questions. We also recognize that not everyone is up for the
meet and greet during their first visit. No pressure, we just want you to feel comfortable and
know our team is ready to serve you!
When you visit The Gathering Church for the first time, we consider you a VIP! That means you’ll get the VIP treatment from the moment you enter our parking lot and enjoy a gathering to the time you leave.
No matter what stage of life you find yourself in, there is something for you here. That goes for the entire family, too -from infants to great-grandparents. This is a safe place for those you love.

What We Believe
Here are our official doctrinal statements. If you have any specific questions about what we believe, contact us directly.
god: the creator
God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three
personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and
are one God.
Genesis 1:1, 26, 27; 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians
13:14
man: god's greatest creation
Man is made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. He is the
supreme object of God's creation. Although man has tremendous potential for good, he is
marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called "sin." This attitude separates
us from God.
Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:1, 2
eternity: forever
Man was created to exist forever. He will either exist eternally separated from God by
sin or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated
from God is hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life. Heaven and hell are
places of eternal existence.
John 3:16; 1 John 2:25; 1 John 5:11-13; Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:15; Matthew
25:31-46
jesus christ: god's son
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless
human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men by dying
on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin
and death. He ascended to heaven's glory and will return again to earth to reign as King
of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Matthew 1:22, 23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5, 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14, 15; 1 Corinthians
15:3, 4; Romans 1:3, 4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14, 15; Titus 2:13
salvation: his plan
Salvation is a gift from God to man. Man can never make up for his sin by
self-improvement or good works - only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of
forgiveness can man be saved from sin's penalty. Eternal life begins the moment one
receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith and is secured for eternity. Salvation is
maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian.
Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8, 9; John 14:6, 1:12; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans
5:1; John 10:29; 2 Timothy 1:12; Hebrews 7:25; 10:10, 14; 1 Peter 1:3-5
holy spirit: our guide
The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son as God. He is present in the world
to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from
the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding
of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. The Christian seeks to live
under His control daily.
2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13, 14:16, 17; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16;
Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 5:1
the bible: our owners manual
The Bible is God's word to all men. It was written by human authors, under the
supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for
Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without any
mixture of error.
2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20, 21; 2 Timothy 1:13; Psalm 119:105,160, 12:6; Proverbs
30:5
baptism: going public
Baptism by immersion symbolizes the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus and is your
public declaration that you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. Baptism
does not save you, but shows the world that you have already been saved. And while
baptism is not required for salvation, it is a biblical command and demonstrates your
love and obedience to Christ.
Colossians 2:12; Acts 2:41; Ephesians 2:8-9; Matthew 28:19-20
