Story

MISSIONGATHERING is a MOVEMENT that Inspires HOPE and Illuminates the LOVE of Jesus by living GOD’S grace FOR ALL.

Missiongathering seeks to be a place for those who have grown weary with some of the old messages of religion. What if, instead of focusing on who's in and who's out, we delivered a message of Grace for All? What if, instead of beating people up with messages of how bad they are, we reminded them that they are a child of God? All are welcome at Missiongathering, regardless of race, age, sexual orientation or creed.

Missiongathering San Diego was started by several young adults from the San Diego area who were disenchanted with the institutional church. From it's initial beginnings this group of friends and spiritual seekers began to use words like open, organic, emergent, fluid, and ever-evolving to describe their community. They wanted to embody God's grace to the emerging/postmodern culture they were a part of. To take ancient symbols and the story of God's grace and live out what they mean for us today. This community of faith—this gathering of restless spiritual wanderers from all over San Diego County—found a safe haven for Christian spirituality as opposed to religious institutionalism. And after several years of ministry in Rancho Bernardo and La Jolla what came to be called Missiongathering began to seek the next phase in this evolving community.

Now, Missiongathering Charlotte — a New Church for the New South — is launching October 25, 2015, in the NoDa neighborhood! Charlotte's Neighborhood Progressive Church
