Ministries

Giving praise to our Heavenly Father and worshipping the King of Kings is the goal of our music ministry at The Gathering,  Our desire is to create an atmosphere of worship for all ages.  We sing a blend of modern and contemporary praise and worship songs, as well as some of the sacred hymns of the church, like Amazing Grace.

Ministering to those who are in the hospital or a nursing home is the heart of this ministry team.  We minister to the Okeechobee area as well as surrounding counties.  If you have a heart for those who are sick or shut in, please consider serving in this ministry.  Contact church office to serve in the Okeechobee area.

The Gathering holds to the truths in God's Word, "...they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover..." Mark 16:18.  At the end of each Sunday Morning Worship service, our elders lay hands on and pray for those who need healing in their physical bodies and other needs as well.  If you would like  more information, please contact Pastor Theresa Brown at 863.357.3318.

The Men of the  House (M.O.T.H.) meet for fellowship at different times throughout the year.  This is a time to get to know one another, share testimonials and scriptures, and pray with each other.

The Gathering welcomes you and your child.  We believe that ministry begins at birth, and we consider it a privilege to minister the love of Jesus to your child.  Our Nursery/Preschool is staffed with certified volunteers from our congregation with a big heart to serve these little ones. Our rooms are creatively decorated and equipped to minister effectively to your child.  We also have a nursing mother's room available.  Click here to learn more!
