Gathering Leadership
‍

The ministry of the Gathering is dreamed, planned and executed by Gathering leadership, which consists of nearly 98% volunteers and a small staff out of the ELCA churchwide organization. These individuals pour their hearts and energy into the ministry of the Gathering, MYLE and the tAble so that congregations can experience this life-changing faith formation experience.
