ABOUT US
Gathered Churches began to form in 2018, as we prayerfully sought to reach both those drifting from the church and those who would never enter a church building. 

2019 saw a growing recognition of existing leaders and communities gathering as house churches all across South Australia. Many of these small gatherings had a love of the church but lacked connection with others in similar contexts and felt alone. We began to gather them and connect churches. 

The need for equipping, supporting and training up leaders in this area became evident. So Gathered was formed by a group of practitioners from multiple churches, committed to seeing missional micro church leaders developed and cared for. 

We recognise that micro churches are a vital part of how God is reach Australia. We don't believe it is the only way, but it is an important expression or a missional people. Therefore we are here to serve a growing community of leaders and networks who are trying to lead these intentionally missional and uniques expressions of the church.

What is a 
​MISSIONAL
​Micro Church?
We believe that a Missional Micro Church is...
"A JESUS WORSHIPING COMMUNITY LIVING INTENTIONALLY AS KINGDOM AMBASSADORS." 

This can be as few as 3-4 people who form a core team committed to living on mission together, with as many as 10-15 others floating in and pastorally cared for. 

Micro Churches meet throughout the week for things like meals, sharing pains and joys, encouragement, having fun together, creating welcoming spaces for their friends who are not-yet-followers. They gather around a common missional focus and desire to disciple one another as apprentices of Jesus.  

​Micro Churches are intentionally smaller/intimate forms of the church with a shared mission - small enough to know a lot about each person in the family, seeing heart motives and blind spots.  This is where the shared life of Christ is seen and experienced most clearly and gospel fluency is easily practiced.
