Harrison: The Gathering
The Gathering, a United Methodist Mission Church, was chartered as a Mission Congregation by Bishop Jonathan Keaton in October 2009. We are serving a community with generational poverty and unemployment. As such, many in the community do not have the ability to provide their families with adequate nutrition.
Our mission is to provide the Harrison, Michigan, and surrounding area with ”FOOD FOR THE BODY AND SOUL”. Because the congregation receivers very little in regular offerings and tithes due to the level of poverty, The Gathering requires additional funding through grants and gifts from Missional Partners. These additional funds allow the congregation to feed over 275 families and more than half the population of Harrison through our Food Pantry monthly, and Christian educational opportunities through Worship Celebrations, Christian Concerts, and Bible Studies. District grants also provide funds for a portion of pastoral support.
By providing these opportunities to the community we are following Jesus commands to Simon Peter to Tend, Shepherd, and Care for God’s people. (John 21:15-17)
