The Gathering Place Network was formed after many years of conviction about the modern church in America. Glen Whatley and a small group of leaders planted the first Gathering Place Church in Pineville, Louisiana in 2007. The goal of the church was to allow God to have access to a group of believers for an experiment in church planting. This small congregation committed to search the Scriptures and follow the leadership of the Holy Spirit to learn how to be a biblical community. God has created something simple and beautiful and we want to encourage more believers to have this experience!
