About Us

WhenI 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. I 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. I am are incredibly grateful to be able to build upon a firm foundation that Pastor Joyce established over 30 years ago. I understand the importance of allowing our roots to grow deep.

Hope to see you Sunday!
