Hi, we’re Michael & Alexis.

We lead The Godly Gathering, a faith-driven community rooted in a God-given vision. It is for believers who want real community, and for people who are not sure what they believe yet.

Nobody has to clean up first. Bring your questions, your family, and something comfortable to sit on.

Our mission

The mission is to create a safe place outside the four walls of a church for Believers and Not Yet Believers to come into community through faith, food, and fellowship.

Our vision

The vision is to travel city to city, state to state, country to country for all to commune with one another and unite the body of Christ.

Along the way

A few moments we keep coming back to.

TGG’s foundational scripture

Acts 2:42-47

The fellowship of the believers

The group sharing a meal around a long table

breaking bread, TGG style

  1. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
  2. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles.
  3. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.
  4. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.
  5. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

Acts 2:42-47
