Welcome

The Gathering at Windsor is a body of people who joyfully desire to gather together with Christ at the center and join Him in His mission of gathering to Himself those not yet gathered. We want to be a tranforming presence in the community of Windsor and the surrounding region by blessing others.

In the fall of 2004 a handful of people who desired to "do" and "be" the church in a different way began to meet, pray and envision a new church. Words like authenticity, community, truth, and love filled our vocabulary and our lives. We began to gather for worship and our first Easter celebration was in 2005.

Although we are a part of the Presbyterian Church USA, our goal is not to make more Presbyterians but to help others discover the joy of what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. So, no matter what your background is, there is a place for you in The Gathering. We are only at the beginning...we would love you to gather with us as we continue to discover what it means to follow Jesus Christ. Come be a part of the adventure!

Purpose and Vision PurposeAs disciple-making, Christ-centered worshippers, our purpose is to:Passionately participate in God's mission of gathering to Himself those not yet gathered, so that thousands of people in the Windsor region will become followers of Jesus, with a special focus on young families. "Thus says the Lord GOD, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, I will gather others to them besides those already gathered." --Isaiah 56:8VisionOur vision in living out our purpose is to:• EXALT...God through daily and weekly worship (personal and communal) which is authentic, celebrative, participatory, and thoughtful.• ENGAGE...Life as a disciple of Jesus, cultivating the character of Christ as we learn from him how to live each moment in the transforming light of the Kingdom of God.• EXPERIENCE...Authentic Connectedness as we live out the "one anothers" in tangible and transforming ways in the context of smaller Gatherings and serving together.• EQUIP...Followers of Jesus to respond to the gifting and calling of the Holy Spirit in leading a life of ministry.• EXTEND...the Love of God as we bear witness to Jesus Christ in service to and relationship with those outside the gathered community.

Values Core ValuesAuthentic RelationshipsWe value relationships with one another and with Christ that are personal, loving, honest and truthful. In our worship and Christian living we appropriate our reformed heritage and traditions of the church historic in ways that inform our faith without degradating the authenticity of a faith that is personal, dynamic and growing."True worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth." (John 4:23)Thoughtful FaithGrounded in the infallible Word of God, we value Spirit led and prayerful consideration of how matters of faith and life intersect; seeking to understand and articulate our faith in our context with a depth of consideration that honors both Christ as our Lord and Savior and the dignity of those created in His image.“But we have the mind of Christ.” (1Corinthians 2:16)Kingdom PerspectiveWe value a Kingdom perspective in our discipleship and ministry, honoring such things as truth over deception, faithfulness over success, excellence over perfectionism, creativity over routine, joy over duty, obedience over pleasure, servant-hood over power, simplicity over indulgence, stewardship over greed, and things eternal over things temporary.“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness.” (Matthew 6:33)Missional IdentityWe value the missional identity of every believer and of Christ’s particular and universal church. In a self-focused world we seek to live outwardly focused lives; growing as disciples who bear witness to the love of God in our respective spheres of influence through the cultivation of meaningful relationships with and acts of service towards those outside Christ’s church."I will gather still others to them besides those already gathered." (Isaiah 56:8)
