The Gathering” exists to proclaim the redemptive message of Jesus Christ, the glory of the Triune God, and the whole counsel of His will through theological education, cultural engagement and community reformation. We organize classes, seminars, fellowships, conferences and provide resources that help to address the needs of the city for the purposes of equipping the saints for every good endeavour. We aim to do these things in a manner rooted in the Christian Scriptures and normed by the Reformed faith, as contained in the Westminster Standards.
THREE DIMENSIONS:
1. URBAN LIFE AND WORLDVIEW
We organize seminars and conferences that address the question of biblical application to every aspect of life. The Christian world-view involves seeing all things through the lenses of Scripture. These public seminars and conferences are aimed at the general public and will be organized around topics of the Bible, world-view, the marketplace, and education.
2. THEOLOGY AND THE LOCAL CHURCH
We seek to resource the local church with strong theological material from the Reformed tradition.
3. SEMINARY AND THE ACADEMY
We seek to help develop the academic vitality of local theologians to engage in an international theological dialogue, and to mediate the gap between academic theology and the church.
