MESSAGE FROM T H E P A S T O R

People areoften curiousabout what

TheGathering isand, simplyput, its achurch. Its

not just a Bible study, or a just

service for the ambitious heart,but its a real church; a smallone, but a real one. We are a

little church within a bigchurch, and we carry a symbi-otic relationship with thatchurch. They love us, and welove them. We work both inde-pendently and as a team to fur-ther the blessed kingdom ofGod on Earth.

Our dream in starting thisplace was to create a home forpeople who seek a deep andintimate encounter with Godand desire to create lifelong

friendships. We value many

things, but what I've seen is adesire for purpose, to be awareand active socially in our localcommunity and environment,to experience community andbuild it all around, loving Godand loving others. We also cele-brate the diversity of individu-

als, their opinions, and theirspiritual journeys. Many of ushope and pray that over theyears, The Gathering will havea profound impact in the livesof the poor and disenfran-chised, will stand against injus-tice, will live moral and ethicallives, and will be the bright

symbol of Christs aboundinglove and peace in Orange

County.
