It seems like so many of us just can't get ahead financially, right? Like trying to keep up with clearing the leaves in the yard, finances seem to be a constant problem.

Believe it or not, the problem isn't getting a bigger salary. The problem is much more personal. For most people, money problems are heart problems.

Come find out how getting on God's terms with money gives you not just financial peace, but the "more" you've been hoping for.

Join us tomorrow at THE GATHERING!

What will your life say when you’re no longer here to explain it? Whether you realize it or not, you’re shaping a legacy right now—in the way you live, love, lead, and point others toward what matters most. How do people see you today? How will they remember you tomorrow? And above all, does your life draw their attention to God?

In this timely message, Dean Trune shares hard-won wisdom from a lifetime of shaping his own spiritual legacy—and from coaching and mentoring countless Christian leaders as they shape theirs. Listen now and discover how an ordinary life, faithfully lived, can leave an eternal impact.

What if the greatest distance we feel from God isn’t caused by outright rebellion, but by the quiet pull of distraction?

We live in an age overflowing with voices competing for our attention—from television and advertising to AI and the endless scroll of social media. With so much ready to occupy our minds, it’s easy to lose sight of the One our hearts were made to seek.

So how can we quiet the noise and return our focus to God? In the final message of Benchmarks, Part III, you’re invited to discover how freedom from distraction is deeply connected to reverence for God. As we encounter the unwavering focus of God himself, we’ll see how that same reverence can reshape us from the inside out.

A God-centered, undistracted life is possible—and this message will help you take a meaningful step toward it.

What if everything you’ve been told about Christianity misses the mark entirely?

Is faith really just a weekly social club, or merely a cosmic insurance policy to keep us out of hell? If you ask a dozen believers why they follow Jesus, you’ll likely get a dozen conflicting answers—leaving most of us asking: What is the actual point?

You’re not the first to wonder. In Mark 10, Jesus’ closest companions—the ones walking in his footsteps every single day—missed the point entirely. In a moment of raw, poignant clarity, Jesus stops the noise and cuts straight to the heart of what he actually intended for your life.

Step inside, lean in, and discover what following him was always meant to be.

Have you ever wondered what people really see when they look at your life? Or what story your choices might tell long after the moment has passed?
We’ve all heard the saying, “actions speak louder than words.” And it’s true: what we do often reveals what matters most to us. But our actions don’t come from nowhere—they grow out of the motives that we carry inside.
So how do we shape those motives in a way that leads to a life marked by perseverance, and even more to the point, faithfulness? In this message, we’ll see how our motives and our faithfulness are linked, and how we can let God shape us when we submit those motives fully to Him.

Have you ever wondered what people really see when they look at your life? Or what story your choices might tell long after the moment has passed?

We’ve all heard the saying, “actions speak louder than words.” And it’s true: what we do often reveals what matters most to us. But our actions don’t come from nowhere—they grow out of the motives, desires, and priorities we carry inside.

So how do we shape those motives in a way that leads to a life marked by trust, honor, excellence, and a heart that pleases God? Scripture tells us that real change is possible when we realign our lives with Him—but what does that look like in everyday life?

Join us this Sunday at The Gathering as we open God’s Word together and explore how the unseen things that shape us—our motives—can be surrendered, transformed, and tamed.
There’s a place for you here!

We all get tired. Deeply. Down to our core.

But Jesus hasn't called us to a "grin and bear it" kind of life. The perseverance He offers us is vastly different, and if we'll pursue Him fully, we'll find something inside of us that's unexplainable.

A lot of people don't know the story of how The Gathering came into existence.
In this two-part podcast with Small Town Network a few weeks back, Jason Ham sat down with Erik Neilsen and Tony Coulombe to tell the story of how God led them to Springfield, Massachusetts, to establish this new church.

What do you do when the strength you were counting on is gone? Not just the “I need a nap” kind of tired—but the kind of tired that settles deep in your soul...

If you’ve ever felt like you were running on empty, wondering how much longer you could keep going, this message is for you.
Because, at some point, all of us have to face the question: how do you keep going when you feel done? How do you endure when everything in you wants to quit?

The good news is, Scripture doesn’t hand us clichés or tell us to simply “grin and bear it.” It gives us something far better: a picture of perseverance that is honest, hopeful, and deeply connected to the One who sustains us.

Join us as we discover not only what perseverance calls us toward, but who we must pursue when endurance feels impossible.

Ever felt like you're just...done? How do you keep going when you're tired of the "going"?

Jesus didn't call us to live a "grin and bear it" kind of life, where we suck it up, slog through, and hope we somehow make it through another week. Instead, he calls us to something much better...something not powered by ourselves.

Join us this Sunday as we understand what it means to persevere, but not on our own strength.
