Hopefully you've never experienced the awkwardness of going on a blind date with someone who is very different from what you expected - in a BAD way! Sometimes that can happen in church, too, unless we are very clear on the front end about who we are and why we do what we do the way we do it. In Discover The Gathering, we lay out simply what our vision is - to live near God in order to be sent to those far from him - and the mission we feel will accomplish it.
