The Gathering
Tuesdays - 5:30 PM - The Drop-In Center
Take a pause. Take a breath. Take a moment to refresh your spirit at the Gathering, a place to worship, pray, and share.
Sometimes a good question is better than an easy answer. So come join the conversation. The Gather is a community of Christians dedicated to engaging our faith with our hearts and heads. We welcome all students to join us, those who have been life-long Christians and those who are exploring Christianity for the first time. We are a GLBT safe-space. Join Rev. Ann Ralosky for a special time of prayer, worship, and fellowship.
