THE VISIONIn 2006, group of mission-minded people, including Rev. Matt Miofsky, began to have conversations about how a new church might transform the City of St. Louis. Together, they worked to bring this vision to life, and bring new generations of people together to serve and worship Christ.THE NAMEThe Gathering name comes from the New Testament. Here, the Greek word for "church" is "ekklesia," which literally means an assembly or gathering of people. We believe the church is a community of people committed to following Christ together.THE COMMUNITYThe Gathering thrives in a historic sanctuary building on McCausland Avenue, at the edge of the city near the community of Maplewood. Here, in this diverse and eclectic area, worship was held for the first time on September 17, 2006.THE FUTURESince its beginning, The Gathering has continued to see dramatic growth. Multiple worship services, a variety of small groups, a blossoming children's ministry and a commitment to serving Kingdom House are just a few ways in which we are expanding our reach. We look forward to the future, and hope you will be a part of our emerging history and what God is doing through our new community.
