MISSION
The New Gathering is a Mission Centered church endeavoring to provide the peace (Shalom) of God for all people. Peace comes through knowing the Prince of Peace; our mandate is to preach the Gospel to all people.
Our ministry is holistic in nature; reaching and meeting people where they are, e.g., in whatever spiritual, psychological, economic, and/or social condition, and in making disciples of people in every sector of our society.
