Invitation Only

The Gathering Place

An invitation-only community for food, fellowship, worship, and prayer — a low-pressure space to be refined and restored together.

What it is
  • A table — food first, always.
  • Simple, unhurried worship.
  • Prayer for each other, out loud and by name.
  • Friendship that doesn’t require a role or a title.
What it isn’t
  • Not a church service.
  • Not a church plant.
  • Not a replacement for your local church.
  • Not a stage, a program, or a place you have to perform.

Why it’s invite-only

Honesty needs a small room. Keeping the Gathering Place invitation-only isn’t about being exclusive — it’s about protecting the kind of trust that can’t survive a crowd.

People come carrying real things. Some are still in ministry, some just walked away from it. Everyone gets to show up as they are, and nobody has to have anything figured out by the end of the night.

If someone invited you, you already belong here. If you’re curious, reach out — we’d love to hear a bit of your story.

Reach out

In their words

In the first meeting with the worship team, I was drawn to Jay's authenticity and vulnerability about past pain… he created a warm, welcoming, emotionally-safe environment for me to share prayer requests I never thought I would have the courage to share. Our worship team bonded, more deeply than the two decades before.
