CONNECTIONS

webinars and podcasts made just for

faith formation leaders

The Gathering Place is all about creating opportunities for faith formation leaders to learn, be, and connect. We realize the time, resources, and energy it takes to travel to conferences and events. With today's technology, The Gathering Place has created resource opportunities (a.k.a. webinars) that COME TO YOU. You can even wear your pj's!

The Gathering Place also provides easy to use resources for Sunday school and more through a partnership with Anabaptist Formation Network. AFFN provides faith formation leaders with curated digital resources for child/family, youth, and adult ministy! No more searching multiple websites or "googling" for ideas.
