Haiti Ministry
After the devastating earthquake in Haiti in January 2010, The Gathering helped a young couple, Gabriel and Richling Paul, build a 2-room brick house in Port-au-Prince. Since that time, Gabriel and Richling, have ministered to thousands of Haitians in a variety of ways with the help of funds from The Gathering, family and friends. …

Health Hut
In 2014, the late Karen Michler started a mission called Health Hut for The Gathering. To this day, The Gathering continues this mission in her memory. Michler’s vision was for The Gathering members to provide items not covered by Public Assistance programs. Health Hut occurs every 2nd Thursday of the month. Helpers are to arrive by…
All Are Welcome!
At The Gathering, we do church differently—it’s not about tradition or complicated systems—it’s all about helping people from all backgrounds discover the joy that comes from knowing and serving Jesus Christ.
Whether you’re exploring faith for the first time, or looking for a new church home, you’ll find a place to belong here. You are invited to come and experience our worship services.
What can you expect on Sundays with us?
Our Praise Band
Our Praise Band is extremely talented and enhances our worship every Sunday.
These highly trained and acclaimed musicians come from all musical styles and backgrounds. They have played in numerous local and regional bands, and some have toured extensively. They now find themselves settled in and around Greater Lafayette. A core group of players have been with The Gathering for more than ten years. They are cross trained on many instruments, and you never know who’s going to be playing what until they begin the first tune. With a mix of seven lead and backup singers, you’ll love the versatility and harmonies this group delivers each and every Sunday.

Romans 12
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…” The apostle Paul is the great teacher of Christianity. More than any other individual who came to believe in Jesus, Paul had the capacity, the insight, and the depth of understanding to fully articulate how radical and eternal the…

Mercy and the Unforgiving Servant
Going forward, I am going to offer a weekly blog post on our new website. It will be centered around the scripture for our Sunday Gathering. This week we share a parable from the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 18:21-35) where Jesus calls his followers to show compassion and mercy. It’s the story of a king who…

PICNIC AT PROPHETSTOWN JUNE 14, 2026
Despite the unusually “cold and windy” weather that day, we showed up! The Praise Band performed, Beth Lageveen provided an update on Haiti and Annika Miller sold sourdough bread to benefit our Haiti mission. Dr. Miller gave us a blessing and we commenced to enjoy the delicious spread. Special thanks to Kristy Wozniak, Linda Cobb, and Jack Albregts who helped host and get everything set up. Also, we greatly appreciate Chris and Jennifer Lee grilling burgers and hot dogs for us. All of the carry-in dishes for the event were fabulous!
