Jesus designed and Jesus built.
I will build My church. -Jesus
The JESUS Gathering is a multigenerational, multiracial, and multicultural coming together of the family of God. Desiring for the authenticity and power of the early church, a growing remnant is welcoming the Spirit’s Presence and embracing the Lord’s Wineskin. Fathers & mothers (from the Jesus Movement 1960s-70s, the Chinese house church movement, as well as those from other past & present moves of God) and a younger generation have joined hearts in returning to our First Love, JESUS, and His design for the church.
Come and join us as we let go of the heart encumbrances of performance, platforms, and “the program,” to sincerely welcome The Presence and participate together as the priesthood of believers.
"’Not by might nor by power but by My Spirit,' says the LORD." Zechariah 4:6
"Unless the Lord builds the house the laborers labor in vain." Psalm 127:1
Returning to the humble place of
prayer, repentance, holiness, and ministering to the Lord,
we are retracing our steps back to the
First Love.
Returning to the ancient paths of faith, selfless love, and obedience, we are
relearning to once again follow
Jesus.
Returning to the Father's heart for family and friendship,
we are rediscovering the
New Testament church.
Removing the fleshly excesses of catering to crowds, we are restoring authentic Kingdom community.
Rejecting the institutional mindsets that produce disciples of a system, we are receiving the simple instruction of Christ and making disciples of the Savior.
Together, we are returning to the presence, purity and power of the
Holy Spirit.
Together, we are returning to Jesus for His vision, His design,
His will for His church.
Thy Kingdom,
Come.
Thy Will,
Be done.
"In Christ the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord.
In Him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit."
Ephesians 2:21-22
"My house shall be called a house of prayer" Matthew 21:13
"I will build My church" Matthew 16:18
The Jesus Gathering is not a conference or an event, rather a prayer community—God's people—seeking the face of our Builder and Maker.
The Jesus Gathering is not a business, rather relational friends and the eternal family walking together in the love of Jesus.
We are a priesthood of believers awakening to the ancient call of ministering to the Lord;
worshipping Him in spirit and truth.
We are living stones—His spiritual house—being joined together as a dwelling place for God
in the Spirit.
We are His family.
We are His bride.
We are His body.
We are His house.
We are His wineskin.
We are His church.
"You also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood,
to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ...
You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people,
that you may proclaim the
praises of Him
who called you out of darkness into
His marvelous light"
1 Peter 2:5, 9
GRASSROOTS.
AUTHENTIC.
NEW WINESKIN.
The church constructed by man is fleshly.
The Church built by the Lord is Spiritual.
The new Wine needs a
new Wineskin.
"No one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine bursts the wineskins, the wine is spilled,
and the wineskins are ruined.
But new wine must be put into
new wineskins."
Mark 2:22
O Lord, have mercy on us!
O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive!
O Lord God, act for the glory of
Your Name!
O Lord, reveal to us again what
Your Church looks like!
We come to You and ask for the eye salve of the Kingdom.
We come to You and acknowledge and confess our pride and spiritual poverty.
We come to You, our First Love and declare as the psalmist, "Your love is better than life."
We come to You, the Builder and surrender our wood, hay and stubble.
We come to You, the Head and repent of our fleshly traditions, ideas and plans.
We come to You, the Deliverer and confess, asking that You deliver us from the
spirit of the world,
love of money,
lukewarmness,
prayerlessness,
ambition, control, earthly power,
fear of man,
idolatry, impurity, laziness,
gluttony, dead works,
earthly wisdom, stubbornness, unforgiveness,
quenching and grieving the Holy Spirit,
self-protection, self-planning, self-promotion,
love of self.
O Sovereign God, baptize us with a modern day Pentecost!
Fill our hearts again with the supernatural selfless Love of the Kingdom!
Pour it to the depths of our souls!
Ignite our inner-man!
Let the wind blow.
Let the fire fall.
Let Your people be Revived!
Dead to this world.
Alive to Jesus.
Alive to Your love, Your heart, Your ways, Your commands, Your design.
Emptied of self and filled with the purifying fire and power of the Holy Spirit!
O Mighty God, breathe on us again so we may joyfully, selflessly and fearlessly fulfill the vision and commands of You,
our Great King...
Believe.
Love the Lord your God.
Love one another.
Go and make disciples.
Baptize in water & the Holy Spirit.
Preach the gospel.
Cast out demons.
Heal the sick.
Teaching all to obey His commands.
O Father in heaven, may it be a work of Your Spirit!
Build in us and build through us what
Your heart desires!
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done.
Here in our land.
In our day.
Come and join us as we humble ourselves, pray, seek the face of God, and turn wholeheartedly to the LORD.

But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. John 4:23-24
