The Gathering started in 2006 in Dayton, Ohio. We believe in the simple, but profound concept that grace and people really could meet. Having experienced grace, or a lack of it, we are passionate about God and His amazing gift of grace. We want to share that passion with others in an environment that was really, truly accepting, encouraging, ridiculously in love with God, not judgmental, open to anyone, just as you are right now.more
