Connected to Each Other

We want to have a vivid imagination for how God can and will use each of us to contribute with our loves, histories, talents, and interests to the Kingdom of God in our place and time. Everyone has something to add, gifts from God, that can be transformed and grown.

What is a Home Group?

A Home Group is a small, intentional gathering where GC neighbors and friends authentically share life together. There are many different kinds of home groups at GC. Some groups get together weekly for a meal and explore scripture in homes, others talk about a book or explore big questions over Zoom. You can find more about each of our current home groups below.

Who should I invite to a Home Group?

Everyone is welcome. Seriously, everyone! Home Groups are not just for people who call the Gathering Church home. They’re just a way for us to get together with others and learn to be present to God, connected to one another, and engaged in loving the world. Everyone has a seat at the table (and the Zoom screen!).
