Our Story
The Gathering began in 2020 with three families meeting for prayer.
During one of those prayer meetings God spoke to us about gatherings
covering every village in The Woodlands, Spring, and Southern Conroe.
These gatherings, mostly in homes, will focus on pursuing God’s presence,
studying His Word and learning to minister to each other under the
leadership of the Holy Spirit.
One church, one vision, many gatherings, centered around Jesus.
We are more about heart transformation than polished performance.
We believe God works most powerfully through authentic relationships
and we long to see His transforming power and presence find a place in
our community. Together, we are taking a deep dive into the Word of
God and the life of the Holy Spirit. Our desire is to be formed by the
ways of Jesus. It is our heart to provide everyone, regardless of
background, a safe and secure space to pursue God in an authentic,
loving and grace-filled environment -- building each other up in the faith.
The adventure is just beginning... we invite you to join us in these early stages as we follow Jesus together. He is creating something among us that is both unique and timely for the days ahead.
