What We Believe


The Gathering is an independent house fellowship not affiliated with any denomination or movement.  We come from various backgrounds and religious traditions to study the Bible, encourage one another, and worship in simplicity the presence of Christ.

As to essentials, our beliefs mirror the Apostle's Creed.

As to other Christian doctrines, our teaching generally conforms to The (Reformed) Baptist Confession of 1689.

Our teacher, Dr. David K. Barnett, is an ordained Baptist pastor who has taught the Bible to pastors and church people for more than 30 years.
