Overview
Theme
Every gathering tells a story. And when Christians gather, we have one story to tell that surpasses all others in beauty, truth, glory, and joy. We meet to rehearse, celebrate, and respond to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
As Bryan Chapell wrote in his book Christ-Centered Worship,
"Where the gospel is honored, it shapes worship."
Discover what it means to build our meetings around the gospel. Join us for a day of music, teaching, and fellowship designed to equip every church member (not only the musicians) to participate in corporate worship. From the initial Call to Worship all the way through to the Benediction, every member of the congregation makes a contribution.
The final session of the day will include all 15 songs from The Gathering: Live from WorshipGod11. Even if you can't be there for the entire day, don't miss the "main event." Discounted passes are available.
