The Gathering Baptist Church is one church that meets at two locations. Each campus offers Bible studies for all ages and one worship service. We would love for you to join us at one of our two locations:
Noland Campus:
4505 S Noland Rd, Independence, MO 64055
Bible Study: 9:30 AM, Service Time: 10:45 AM
Plaza Campus:
1500 SW Clark Rd, Blue Springs, MO 64015
Bible Study: 9:30 AM, Service Time: 10:45 AM
At The Gathering, our worship gatherings include four main elements. First, we sing together. Whether through timeless hymns or modern worship songs, we unite as a congregation, lifting our voices in praise to Jesus, who is worthy of our adoration.
Second, we believe in prayer here at The Gathering. We take seriously the Lord’s command to come to him with all of our burdens and all of our requests, knowing that he cares for us. So we take time to pray together corporately asking God to meet with us and draw near to us.
Third, as part of our worship, we give generously our tithes and offerings in response to God’s blessings.
Finally, after singing, praying, and giving, we open the Scriptures, believing God speaks to us through His Word, and we conclude with the preaching of His Word.
Absolutely! Kids of all ages are welcome in the gatherings at both our locations.
Gathering Kids serves children from birth to elementary age. Nursery is available both 9:30 AM and 10:45 AM. Preschool and Elementary classes are available at 9:30 AM as well as Children’s Church during the preaching portion of the service.
Students, grades 6-12, have small groups on Sunday mornings at 9:30 AM and on Sunday evenings The Well has a gathering for Students grades 6-12 from 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM.
Wear whatever you’re most comfortable in. You don’t need to dress up or look any certain way at The Gathering.
Still have questions? We’d love to speak with you.
