Groups

We're thrilled to see your interest in joining one of our new groups. These groups offer an incredible chance to connect with others on the same path and grow in your faith. Our upcoming group launch is scheduled for the week of September 24, and we can't wait to embark on this journey together.


Group participation is an ideal way to build meaningful relationships at The Gathering. It typically takes 3 to 4 meetings for relationships to truly start forming within groups. To fully experience the benefits of a group, it's recommended to give it some time and allow these connections to naturally develop. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance in choosing the right group for you. Contact steve@thegatheringdayton.com.

Group Descriptions: 


(FULL) Love in Chaos (Wednesday 6:30PM):

We don’t have to look far to see division in our world. And in many ways, we are confused, angry, and disillusioned by all the chaos we’re experiencing. How should Christians respond to the chaos? What does it look like to live faithfully in these strange and challenging times? Join bestselling author Bob Goff in this six-session series as he helps us answer these questions. Learn what it looks like to follow Jesus and obey his commands even in a time of chaos.


Holy Habits (Thursday 6:30PM):

When God calls us to himself, he sets us apart—he makes us holy. But what does it mean to be holy? What habits define God’s people, no matter where they are on earth or which denomination they are a part of? In this four-session series, pastor Derwin Gray explores four foundational behaviors of Christians. God calls us to a new way of living, one formed by rhythms of holiness.


Why I Believe (Thursday 6:30PM):

Scripture calls Christians to “be prepared” to give answers to anyone who asks about the faith. Are you prepared? Or do you feel ill-equipped?

The facts of the resurrection, the reliability of the Bible, and the evidence for creation – all have solid proofs that you, your children, your grandchildren, and your friends can understand and share with anyone seeking hope.

Equipping you and giving you confidence is why pastor and Bible teacher Chip Ingram created this Group Bible Study to go along with his Why I Believe video teaching series.


Young Adult’s Group (Sunday 6:30PM):

Welcome to our Young Adult Group at the church! Geared towards individuals that have graduated high school to early thirties, this community provides a space for young adults to come together, connect, and explore their faith journeys. Through engaging discussions, thought-provoking studies, and meaningful events, we aim to create an environment where you can deepen your spirituality, forge lasting friendships, and navigate the exciting challenges of this life stage.

Parenting Group (Sunday 11:00AM):

Welcome to our parenting small group, where we come together as a community to navigate the joys and challenges of raising children to know and grow in their faith. Through open discussions, shared experiences, and valuable insights, we'll explore the art of taking care of kids while building a strong foundation of Christian values.

Young Adult Men’s Group (Monday 6:00PM):

This group is designed for men out of high school to early thirties who are seeking to grow in faith, connect with like-minded individuals, and navigate the unique challenges of this life stage. Through engaging discussions, relevant studies, and various activities, we aim to foster a sense of camaraderie, personal development, and spiritual growth.
