Welcome.
About Us.
The Gathering was started in december 2012. We started meeting at flea markets and in mall coffee shops with the intention of ministering to those outside of the 4 walls of a building. We are the church and so we would bring church to the people, however as we grew it became necessary to have a meeting place and so we moved into a lounge for a season before renting the
hall at Rietvlei zoo farm. We were blessed to be able to buy the building we are currently in on Rietvlei zoo farm.

Our Mission.
We are passionate about the Presence of God in our meetings. We believe like Moses, that we don’t want to move without His Presence. We want to raise up people who will take the church out of the building and into the work place. To see the secular sacred divide be bridged. To reveal the goodness of God in our lives toward all men
What We Believe.
Why change what the early church fathers wrote, as this says it all…
The Apostles Creed.
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit; Born of the Virgin Mary; Suffered under Pontius Pilate; Was crucified, dead and buried; He descended into Hell; The third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven; And sitteth on the right hand of God the
Father Almighty; From thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit; The Holy Christian Church, the Communion of Saints; The Forgiveness of sins; The Resurrection of the body; And the life everlasting. Amen.
The Nicene Creed.
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten not made, being of one substance with the Father, through Whom all things were made: Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man: Who for us, too, was crucified under Pontius Pilate, suffered, and was buried: the third day He rose according to the Scriptures, ascended into heaven, and is seated on the right hand of the Father: He shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom shall have no end.
And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of life, Who proceeds from the Father and the Son: Who together with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified: Who spoke by the prophets. And I believe one holy, Christian, and apostolic Church.
I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins, and I look for the resurrection of the dead and life of the age to come. Amen

Breaking News.
A devastating fire recently engulfed and destroyed the Gathering Church at Rietvlei Zoo Farm in the south of Johannesburg. The blaze, which erupted unexpectedly, quickly consumed the entire structure, leaving the community in shock and mourning the loss of a cherished local landmark. Emergency services responded promptly, but the intensity of the fire made it impossible to save the building. The cause of the fire is under investigation, and the community and neighbouring churches are rallying together to support the church members during this difficult time.
