Lead Pastor
A Message From Todd
We live in a day when bigger, louder, faster seems to be the mantra. I have found through personal experience that God isn’t found in large, gimmicky programs but rather is present in the stillness, and smallness of human relationships. At the Gathering, our desire is to keep things uncomplicated by building authentic relationships based upon grace. We center on Christ and understand that everyone interprets religion, tradition and scripture through their lens of their personal experience. For that reason we make space for tough questions and differences of opinion and humbly acknowledge that we are just adding our input to the 2,000 year old discussion that surrounds Jesus.
Our goal is to find all of our life, significance and worth in Christ and then partner with God to hold space for what the Divine is going to do on Mint and Puente.

If your desire is to be a part of a community that believes that God hasn’t given up on the world and is working through people to bring about His renewal of all things, then you will find Grace your home.
