We envision a community of Christ-followers who never lose sight of their mission to reach the unchurched and connect them to the Kingdom of God. We see a gathering of people who refuse to get “stuck in time” and are consistently able to present the timeless truths of scripture in relevant and creative ways to the emerging generation.

We see that developing authentic relationships is the key to connecting people to Jesus and His Church and people are loved and accepted for who they are.  The Gatherings will be a place where the power of God’s Word and presence of the Holy Spirit changes lives, where people are listened to and not just talked at.

We see a people who understand that they are the church, not where they meet, where the whole community of Southeast Fresno is affected because we understand it is better to serve than to be served.

Our Purpose
Church @ The Southgate exists to see our generation and the next e.merge as fully developing Christ-followers.
