The Gathering
Building Spiritual Community
Based in Indianapolis, IN, The Gathering is grounded in the idea that loving fellowship with people and God fosters joy, healing and freedom. We can individually and collectively spread this love into our lives and communities, enacting justice and reconciliation.
We are creating spaces that support people to live an embodied and holistic faith life grounded in an intimate relationship with God. Gatherings are grounded in Biblical scripture, ancient and contemporary contemplative and embodied Christian practices, theological study, and testimony.
The Gathering develops these community spaces for neighbors and community members in partnership with other organizations and churches.
