I absolutely love this job because it’s a great opportunity for someone to be a part of a growing church, in a great town, while helping to build and establish vital ministries for the church. This person will not only get to build something but will be able to lead a great staff and team of volunteers in multiple areas of the church. For someone looking to make a significant impact, use their leadership abilities, and grow in their leadership, this is a great role.
In 2015, after a Coast Guard Career and three years as the Student Director and Church Planting Apprentice at Echo. Church in Silicon Valley, CA, John Mark and Rahel Redwine moved to Asheville with two other families to start The Gathering Church. The church launched with a high emphasis on attractional services and deeper community and saw success right from the start.
Post-pandemic has been a great time for rebuilding systems and structures to reach new people. The leadership sensed a shift in culture towards a desire in people for more earnest discipleship and deeper community and has worked hard to find good ways to meet that need. Better assimilation systems and an emphasis on discipleship have ushered The Gathering Church into the healthy season we are in today.
Now we are poised for the next chapter, and high on that list is closing some gaps in the generations we are reaching. We hope you will help us with that!
At The Gathering Church, we believe the next generation is our hope for the future. We feel there’s an essential opportunity to increase our effectiveness at reaching kids, teens, young adults, and their parents. Our church community is already around 50% young families, so we are primed to take our existing (and great) foundation to the next level.
We are creating a space for the next generation to feel welcome, wanted, and seen. We will create a space for the next generation to enter a relationship with Jesus and embark on a lifelong journey of following Him. This leader will get to pioneer new systems, cultures, and teams and have the freedom to determine the direction to reach the next generation in Asheville.
For students, we hope to create a midweek experience that engages them and allows them to build community and learn how to apply the Bible to their stage of life. We want kids to gain a foundation for the Gospel and a love for the church. And for Young Adults, we want them to find a life-giving community that builds their faith.
The Gathering Church is poised for amazing growth with solid systems and processes to move to the next level. We are expectant of what God is going to do. The church community is eager to grow, get connected, and continue to plant roots in the community. This is a great chance to join a fast-growing church at the ground level and be a big part of what God does for years to come!
