Our volunteers are amazing!! Every week, you offer your talents and time to serve our congregation and community. We know we couldn't do church without you, which is why we want to recognize your heart to serve and get together to celebrate your commitment to shine your light in the name of Jesus!

At The Gathering, we will celebrate our 50th Anniversary, set our vision for 2026, and discuss Christmas. We will also spend time in worship and celebration for what God is doing in our church and through YOU!

Led by Jay Scott and James Canterbury, this study will help answer some of your questions about the Bible and Jesus, enabling you to continue growing in your faith.
