His humor and honesty gives the Gathering new insights that help train young leaders.

The Gathering is a place where hundreds of twenty somethings from all over South-Eastern Michigan can come together to worship and seek God.
At The Gathering, together we experience powerful praise and worship and a message of hope for a dying generation crying out for something to live for.
Our goal is to simply do whatever we can to unlock the true presence and power of the one, true God. It doesn’t matter where you’re from or what you’ve done, join us.

Thursday Nights
Each Thrusday Night is a fresh and exciting experience, including free food, great live worship, and an honest approach to following Jesus. Come at 8:30pm to grab dinner and meet some great people just like you. At 9:00pm, join hundreds of young professionals in live, high-energy worship to God. You are welcome to participate or simply listen and enjoy the great music. The worship is followed by a fun and media-filled message by one of our speakers based on a monthly theme. Whether you're a regular church-goer or you are totally new to (or maybe uncomfortable with) church, Thursday Nights is a place you can feel welcome and build great friendships. 
The Gathering (OU)
The Gath(OU) is a group for Oakland University students that focuses on building relationships. Relationships are a vital part of life, and we believe in strengthening, first, our relationship with God, followed by our relationships with each other. We also do outreach programs every month ranging from capture the flag to acoustic worship nights. Bottom line: we love to meet new people! Come on out and join us every Tuesday at 7:30pm in Cafe O'Bears in the OC! This semester, we are going through the new book by John Bevere: Relentless.
Small Groups
Since hundreds of college and 20s attend The Gathering events every week, small groups are a great way to get connected and build real relationships. Over half of those that attend The Gathering also particpate in a small group. We have small groups in locations all over metro Detroit, so find the one that works for you.
Each small group is going through the new book by John Bevere: Relentless.
