The Gathering

About this church

The Gathering is a Christ-exalting, discipleship-focused congregation meeting inside the Countryside YMCA in Maineville. The church calls itself a “CITY,” meaning Church in the YMCA, and intentionally seeks to love and serve both the YMCA and the surrounding community. Its mission is to love God, love one another, and make disciples of all peoples through gathered worship, community groups, family discipleship, and outward service.

Sunday worship runs from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. at 6246 Turning Leaf Way. The service begins with praise and worship, followed by prayer, biblical teaching, and congregational response. Children in second grade and older remain in worship, with kid-friendly note sheets and clipboards available. Jr. Lights serves kindergarten and first grade in a separate class during the sermon; families needing nursery or preschool care should consult the children’s page because the visitor guide does not promise it. Clothing may reflect each person’s comfort and convictions. Community groups meet during the week at varied times, while Ironmen Study for men runs seasonally from September through May. Because the congregation shares a YMCA property rather than a stand-alone church campus, the location page is important for confirming the entrance and current room. Event listings should be checked for changes caused by facility schedules.
