ABOUT US

When when I describe GPC to people, I say "family," because that's what we ARE! No matter what season you may be walking into, currently going through, or coming out of, we want to be there for you! Our hope is that the moment you walk through the doors that you feel loved, welcomed, and most importantly a part of a family. 

 

At GPC, we are commited to teach the importance of living a surrendered, repentive, and holy life. We prioritize serving those around us and loving others as Christ loved us. Our vision here at Gathering Place Church is to "Bring Healing to a Broken World." That simply looks like loving people inside and outside the church through generosity, compassion, and Christ-like love. 

 

In 2016, Pastor Joyce Robinson transitioned the Church over to Briana and I. We are incredibly grateful to be able to build upon a firm foundation that Pastor Joyce established over 30 years ago. We understand the importance of allowing our roots to grow deep.

 

Hope to see you Sunday!

WHO WE ARE

OUR MISSION

Together, we are a community of believers. What does the word community mean, exactly? We believe that together in fellowship we grow closer to God and one another. The Bible speaks about iron sharpening iron (Proverbs 27:17). We believe that together we grow stronger. We are a community of believers. 

OUR VISION

To "Bring Healing To A Broken World." We desire to be a church like from the book of Acts, to see our city and our local community changed by the transforming power of Christ.

OUR VALUES

We highly value our relationships with one another. We look to grow through fellowship, and ultimately grow closer to God. We value the word of God, and the leadership of the Holy Spirit. We look to extend grace to all of the lost and broken, and lead those with no hope to the hope of Jesus Christ.
