Get Involved

Restore Outreach is one of the community outreaches of The Gathering Church. However, many who attend, volunteer and participate are from various churches in our area or no church at all. Restore is not about any one church building a name for itself, but rather unifying to share the love of Christ and make a true impact in our community. We accomplish more when we work together!
