a letter from our team
welcome to [gather]! [gather] started when Lauren, our executive director moved to New York started meeting women right away who would all express their need for the same things, along with the fact that they were struggling to find them - solid community, strong relationships, loving intentionality. whether or not she met them in the church or outside, the needs where the same. she met the girls who now serve on our team pretty quickly and all felt a strong call to gather women together, to create that space for women to cultivate relationships, have conversation about things that mattered, and be a part of a community that cared, challenged, and championed them. we started doing gatherings with different themes, talking about different topics, theming our nights around different issues and topics that mattered to us, creating space. and the result was incredible. we got to see women coming together with other women they didn't know, being vulnerable, bringing things into light that previously were in darkness. and from there, there was growth.
our heart is to see women of all different backgrounds, faiths, upbringings, brought together to foster new relationships, have hard, yet life-giving conversation, and experience love. the love of a God who designed them for a purpose, and for community. no matter what your belief or background, we want you to know you are loved. however you got here, whoever you are, we are glad you're here. and we hope you can be a part of a community and a radical love that will change your life.
xo,
the [gather] team
