We were never meant to do life, or faith, alone. Some of the most meaningful growth happens when we gather around a table, share a laugh, have a conversation, and make space to get to know one another.

At GatheringPoint, we believe life is better connected, and we’re excited about all the opportunities to connect this fall! There’s something for everyone:

🥞 Sept 19 - Men’s Breakfast
🔥 Oct 17 - S’more Kankakee Co. Fall Fest
🎬 Oct 29 - The Chosen Season 6 Early Access Event
🎨 Nov 13 - Ladies’ Coffee & Canvas Night
🎄 Dec 20 - Merry Movie Night & Lights Spectacular

Whether you’ve been at GatheringPoint for years or you’re just looking for a place to connect, we hope you’ll find an event, invite a friend, and join us.

Find all the details and upcoming events at GatheringPoint.church/events.
In addition to all of these fun connection events, we will have short-term small group opportunities coming soon. Stay tuned for more details!

There’s more to GatheringPoint than what happens on Sunday morning!

Whether you’re new here, still getting to know us, or you’ve been attending for a while and are ready to get more connected, the StartingPoint Tour is a great place to start.

Join us this Sunday, September 6, after either the 9 or 10:30 a.m. service for a casual, 30-minute behind-the-scenes tour. You’ll meet members of our team, learn more about GatheringPoint’s mission and vision, explore our ministries, and discover ways to get plugged in.

Stop by the Welcome Desk after service, grab a cinnamon roll, and join us for the tour. We can’t wait to help you take your next step!

Like a mirror, the Holy Spirit reveals the areas of our lives where we've settled for managing appearances rather than surrendering control. But God isn't interested in shaming us for our hidden struggles, but freeing us from the chains we've learned to hide. True freedom begins when we allow God's light in.

“Jesus replied, ‘Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.’”
John 8:34-36

How would asking the Holy Spirit to “take control” in your life, instead of “fixing yourself,” change your life today?

Church is a place where we come together to worship, learn, and grow in Christ. If you’ve been encouraged by your time at GatheringPoint, invite someone to experience it with you this Sunday.

This weekend, we'll be wrapping up our "Fake Fruit" series, sharing about upcoming connection opportunities, and celebrating together at our End of Summer Party. We hope to see you there!

Our Waumba Land volunteers are the best of the best, and we know that safety is a number one priority for your kiddos. When you drop your child off on a Sunday morning, you can enjoy the service knowing that we are FOR safety in Waumba Land.

1. Safe People
All volunteers are carefully trained and adults are background checked prior to serving.

2. Safe Check-In
We use a secure check-in and out process, including a unique pick up sticker that must be presented for any child to leave Waumba Land.

3. Safe Supplies
All toys, surfaces and supplies are cleaned before and after services.
