Health Hut
In 2014, the late Karen Michler started a mission called Health Hut for The Gathering. To this day, The Gathering continues this mission in her memory. Michler’s vision was for The Gathering members to provide items not covered by Public Assistance programs. Health Hut occurs every 2nd Thursday of the month. Helpers are to arrive by…
All Are Welcome!
At The Gathering, we do church differently—it’s not about tradition or complicated systems—it’s all about helping people from all backgrounds discover the joy that comes from knowing and serving Jesus Christ.
Whether you’re exploring faith for the first time, or looking for a new church home, you’ll find a place to belong here. You are invited to come and experience our worship services.
What can you expect on Sundays with us?
Our Praise Band
Our Praise Band is extremely talented and enhances our worship every Sunday.
These highly trained and acclaimed musicians come from all musical styles and backgrounds. They have played in numerous local and regional bands, and some have toured extensively. They now find themselves settled in and around Greater Lafayette. A core group of players have been with The Gathering for more than ten years. They are cross trained on many instruments, and you never know who’s going to be playing what until they begin the first tune. With a mix of seven lead and backup singers, you’ll love the versatility and harmonies this group delivers each and every Sunday.

THE GATHERING PRAYERS MATTER
Steve & Gloria Klutzke would like to thank The Gatherers for their prayers, concerns and wishes for our grandson, Cedric Klutzke. We are elated to share that he is now safely home from the Iran War. He had some harrowing experiences and close calls–so we needed every one of you and, fortunately, it paid off!

Dr. Will Post
Yesterday was one of solemn remembrance of the attack on our country destroying the World Trade Center. The images of the tragedy are with everyone to this day. It changed us in so many ways. Sally and I were living in New York in our small apartment on Sixty-Ninth Street on the upper west side.…

GREAT TURNOUT AT THE GATHERING’S FIRST SERVICE
It was wonderful to see the great turnout at The Gathering’s first service in its new space at the Bistro Atrium. Several commented it was easier to visit before the service in our new location. The total count was close to 60! We are putting the new chairs to good use — see you this Sunday!

THE BAND PLAYING ON THE “STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN”
Our Praise Band continues to lift us up in our new space at the Bistro Atrium! They opened with a very poignant song on Sunday — “Jolene” in honor and memory of Dolly Parton whom we lost the previous week. We appreciate all of our musicians and everything they bring to our service each and every week. Thank You!
