The Gathering

Faith is something we believe. But, on a deeper level, it's something we practice. As we step away from a conversation about our Shared Practices, Pastor Charity Goodwin reminds us why they're so important - and how we can practically begin implementing them in our lives.

Invitation doesn't have to be hard. Jesus gives us an example of how to invite: start with the people you know, listen for opportunities, risk an invitation, let go of the outcomes.

People need good news, and we have the opportunity to be the ones that help them find it. It is powerful when someone is able to change their life in light of Jesus. And, often all of that starts with one, simple invitation. That makes Jesus worth sharing.

You don't have to be an expert in faith to extend an invitation. Your faith is worth sharing.

For many of us, a simple invitation to church is the easiest and clearest way to offer someone else the chance to explore Jesus and faith. You don't need to be an expert, or have all the answers. And, you really don't have to try and get people to do anything. Instead, just do what's natural.

Share your experience and extend the invitation for someone else to experience a community that changed your life.

Jesus WANTS Your Help. Your Faith is worth sharing.

All around us, strong voices are projecting a version of church that is judgmental, partisan, angry and condemning. Too few people know that there is another kind of church. That Jesus came not to judge or condemn, but to invite us into lives of love, emotional freedom, and compassion.

This Jesus is underrepresented. This kind of church needs a voice. Jesus needs your voice.

Gathering, meet Pastor Aaron Carter! As one of our associate pastors, Aaron will be joining us across all our sites and online as he considers starting a new church! We're very lucky to have him on our team.

In this message, he reminds us that Jesus is for US. He's for you, for me, for all.

Jesus' presence in our lives makes a difference.

Faith is more than a static list of beliefs. It is also actively living your life in a way that will help your faith grow and evolve. Just as artists practice their craft as they pursue excellence, we must practice our faith as we pursue a deeper relationship with Jesus. Join us as we learn about the spiritual practices we commit to here at The Gathering in order to follow Christ and pursue growth in our spiritual lives.
