Next Steps

Whether you’re just beginning your faith journey, coming back to it after some time away, or a long-time traveller, The Gathering Place wants to come alongside you in every step.

The Gathering Place and First United are one church family with two unique identities. When you connect, grow, and serve at The Gathering Place, you are becoming a part of the First United Family, too!

Baptism

In baptism, we are brought into God’s family, turning toward a new direction that follows Christ, choosing to be made new daily by the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit.

Partnership

By God’s grace and invitation, you’re already a part of what the Spirit is doing at The Gathering Place. Through Partnership, you get to respond and say, “I’m all in!” This is your way of claiming your faith and community.

Spiritual Practices

Faith is not something we just keep in our pocket and pull out on a rainy day. It is a muscle we stretch and build and rest. We want to help you find the practices and rhythms to strengthen your spiritual life.

Tracking Your Service

What we measure, matters. Our goal is to track hours of service — not to brag — but to make sure we’re living out our mission of loving abundantly.

Spiritual Gifts

Everyone has spiritual gifts — unique talents and skills given by God to serve the Kingdom. We want to unleash you to be who God has called you to be, and to serve from your giftedness.

Prayer Requests

You are not alone on your journey. We want to support you during the highest highs and in the lowest lows. Help us pray for you by filling out a prayer request.

Get Involved

Church is not just the pastor’s job — the body of Christ makes Church happen! There are lots of ways to connect, grow, and serve at The Gathering Place — find what’s right for you!
