An Ordinary Family on an Extraordinary Mission.
We exist to help every person know Jesus, grow in community, and live on mission in their everyday life.
OUR MISSION
is to help people Find and Follow Jesus.
Three simple commitments shape everything we do gathered worship, devoted community, and everyday mission in our city and beyond.
A church for the city, sent for the world.
We dream of an Anderson where every person has a follower of Jesus they call a friend, and a global family that's still being written today.
A NOTE FROM PASTORS
Meet Pastors Michael & Rachel Ferguson
We’re Michael and Rachel, parents to 6 amazing kids and two grandchildren. It is truly our joy to welcome you to The Gathering Anderson.
At the heart of everything we do is a simple desire: to help people encounter Jesus, experience real community, and step into the life God has created them to live. We believe church should feel like family not a performance. A place where you can come as you are, be known, and grow in your faith alongside others.
The Gathering was born out of a deep conviction that church was never meant to stop at gathering. Yes, we come together to worship, to find healing, and to be encouraged but we’re also called to be equipped in truth and empowered by the Holy Spirit. And from there, we are sent to live on mission, to love people well, and to make disciples in our everyday lives.
Our prayer is that you would find a home here a place where you can grow, discover your purpose, and walk closely with Jesus in every season.
We’d truly love to meet you.
-Michael and Rachel
Our Vision
See a movement of Jesus in Madison County, in our lifetime (Central under Vision). Then add the sentence that's there. At the end, add the words, "Church isn’t where we go, it's who we are.
Church STARTS on Monday!
Core Believe
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Anchored in the historic Christian faith. Scripture, gospel, church, Spirit.
The Scriptures
We believe the Bible is God's inspired Word true, sufficient, and our final authority for faith and life.
The Gospel
We believe the Gospel is the good news that Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again, offering forgiveness, new life, and eternal salvation to all who place their faith in Him.
The Church
We are family. The local church is God's plan for discipleship, worship, and mission together.
The Spirit
We are a Spirit-led church that believes the Holy Spirit indwells every believer, empowers spiritual gifts and remains active today.
