The Gathering Place is Closed.
We wanted to take a moment to say thank you for your support over the last 7 years. We have truly enjoyed each moment, celebration, renewal, and gathering we were given the honor of hosting. Thank you for allowing us to be apart of some of your most precious memories.
We have sold the property and while it will start a new adventure as something totally new and different, so will we. We are excited to see what God has planned. Please stay in touch through our social media as we continue to pursue what is next!
