GATHER
We have been created to worship God - as individuals and as a church. Gather Nights are times when we gather together as the body of Christ for a concentrated time of worship and prayer.
"And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved." - Acts 2:46-47
"Let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near." - Hebrews 10:25

GROW
The more we know about God, the better we are able to worship and serve Him. We grow in the knowledge of God through the study of His Word (The Bible). This study does not happen in isolation, but in community with other believers. Grow Nights are a variety of opportunities to grow in the knowledge of God through fellowship with other believers.
"And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers." - Acts 2:42
"Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a worker who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth." - 2 Timothy 2:15
"Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a worker who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth." - 2 Timothy 2:15
GIVE
As we show our love for God, it will take the form of giving to others. Jesus said he came not to be served but to serve. If we are going to be like Jesus, we must serve others by meeting needs. Give nights are opportunities to serve others in the church and community by meeting needs.
"And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need."
- Acts 2:45
"The Son of Man [Jesus] came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

"The Son of Man [Jesus] came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

GO
We are commanded to go into all the world and share the Gospel. The Gospel is the great news that Jesus was the Son of God who died on the cross for the sins of the world, rose again, and is coming back soon. As followers of Jesus, we must share this message with the world. GO Nights are times where some individuals go out into the community to share the Gospel while others support them through writing cards and praying.

And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
