Gathering times, directions, and what to expect upon your first visit to Missiongathering
WHAT CAN I EXPECT???
Our Sunday Gatherings at Missiongatherings are about 90 minutes in length. The gatherings begin with the Missiongathering Worship Band leading the community of faith in meaningful music – song lyrics are projected onto the screens so you can sing along and/or engage with worship however you feel most comfortable. After the music portion of the gathering is complete, one of our Pastors will come out to share an encouraging, practical and hope-filled message
WHAT ABOUT MY CHILDREN???
We believe that children should have a fun, inspirational, yet educational time at church every single week. At Little Villagers, we make this a top priority. The other thing we make a priority is your children’s safety. Because of that, we have a detailed check-in process for our Little Villagers program the first time that you visit. You’ll want to leave yourself an extra ten minutes to get signed in for the Little Villagers experience. Little Villagers is offered at every Missiongathering Sunday Gathering for kids ages infant through Grade 5. All children workers are professionally background checked and screened.
GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER
We know going to a new church for the first time can be intimidating, or deciding to go back to a faith community in a long time, can be nerve-racking. We want to help make your first experience at Missiongathering a great one! If you have any questions, please find one of our Team members to answer any questions you may have.

The Story
In the summer of 2017, Loren felt a stirring to create something new. He wasn’t sure what it was, or what it would look like, but he felt God was pushing him to do something fresh. Another motivating factor was his two children, a daughter, and son, for whom he wanted an inclusive, welcoming faith community for them to be a part of as they grew. Seeking to create a welcoming faith community, with a modern worship style within a progressive understanding of Christianity, Loren began working with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), a Christian network of church in the United States and Missiongathering Movement, a church planting movement within the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) to bring Missiongathering Christian Church Thornton to fruition.
With the help of Rich McCullen, Lead Visionary of the Missiongathering Movement, and Joan-Bell Haynes, Regional Minister of the Central Rocky Mountain Region Disciples of Christ, Loren is excited to bring the welcoming, inclusive message of God’s love and acceptance to the Thornton area of the northeast Denver Metro and Loren is passionate about sharing the good news that in Jesus, God’s love is revealed to all people and that in following the way of Jesus, we find a life of ultimate meaning and purpose. Along with his wife, Corinna, and children, Lexi and Jaxson, Loren is proud to call the community of Thornton his home also.
