Current Events

Parenting Conference August 13th, 20th & 27th 5:30 - 7:00 pm

Our children can grow up smart, athletic, popular and polite but lack a vibrant relationship with Christ. The few hours they spend in church each week can be helpful, but it cannot nurture a faith in our kids that will withstand the trials that are on the horizon. Church alone cannot teach them, we must start at home. But many parents feel ill equipped to develop the faith of their children.   Join us as we explore biblical and tangible ways that parents, couples, single parents, blended families, and grandparents can build a legacy of faith for their children.   The conference will be held at Gathering Church from 5:30 - 7:00, August 13th, 20th and 27th. Childcare will be provided.

Spotlights

Missions Moments           Volunteer of the Week

Micaela McGinnis is the daughter of Todd and Kelly McGinnis and is a faithful member of Gathering Church, You may not know her though because she has been a full-time missionary in Japan with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) for 4 years. She is on staff and works with the Discipleship Training School (DTS) in Tokyo. She has a contagious and inspiring passion for Japan and reaching youth with the Gospel. She is currently in Florida again for a short time so if you are able, catch up with her and ask her why she loves Asia and how God is using her to minister to youth in Japan. Her heart is to see Japan come to know Christ and impact the rest of the world with their testimony. Read Micaela's most recent blog update here. If you feel called to donate to Micaela, visit her donations page here. Mindy Rogers, originally from Pennsylvania, has been attending Gathering for four years and currently works for the Air Force in Civil Engineering. She is married to Jonathan and together with their son Joshua, attend the South Fort Walton Beach small group. Mindy serves in various capacities at the church, including Children’s Ministry and the Altar Team. Mindy loves serving in Children’s Ministry because she gets to share the love of Jesus with the children, to pray for them, and gets to see Him work in their hearts and lives.
