Core Community
We structure our community in a way that invites all to participate
WHAT IS CORE COMMUNITY?
Core Community at the Gathering Church is a way for people to commit further into their participation within our community.
What DOES IT MEAN TO JOIN?
Joining Core Community emerges from finding a deep sense of belonging in our community and a desire to lean into what God is calling us to.
This includes joining in our mission, living into the values we have, having a desire for mutual accountability, identifying with our theological outlook, and inclusion with us as a legal entity (which includes helping in decision making through voting and selection of leadership).
If you are curious and have any questions, we would love to hear from you!

Baptism
We believe baptism by water is a public sign that a person has repented of sin, received forgiveness, died with Christ, and been raised to new life through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Baptism is a public declaration of one’s commitment to following Jesus within a community that we get to celebrate together.
