Meet Our Pastors
At the heart of The Gathering Place is a desire to create a place where people encounter the presence of God and are changed by Him.
Pastor Irene leads with a deep love for people and a passion for helping them feel seen, valued, and welcomed. She believes every person has a God-given purpose and longs to see people from every walk of life grow in faith.
Pastor Rex brings a deep love for Scripture and a steady commitment to biblical truth, helping people build a faith that is rooted, authentic, and lived out each day.
Together, they lead with one prayer: that everyone who walks through our doors would encounter Jesus, become part of His family, and be transformed by His love.
