ABOUT

THE GATHERING

is an event designed to refresh your soul and ignite your spirit. Each night is identical, so choose the one that works best for you and your girlfriends—and get ready for an unforgettable experience!

We’ll kick things off with a delicious dinner, exclusive merch, photo moments, and plenty of time to connect and have fun together. Then, we’ll gather for powerful worship and an encouraging message designed to strengthen your faith and refresh your soul.

And we’re not done yet! Stick around for the afterparty with dessert, a silent disco, and even more fun together.

Tickets are just $25 and include dinner, so grab your girlfriends and make plans to join us. Come expectant. Leave refreshed. Let’s gather!

The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.

JOIN THE FUN AND SEE WHAT LAST YEAR LOOKED LIKE

A LETTER FROM AMY

Hello Friend!

The Gathering is almost here, and I can’t tell you how excited I am to share this night with you!

Every year, I look forward to seeing women of all ages and from every season of life come together in one room. There’s something so special about setting aside the schedules, the to-do lists, and all the things that constantly pull at our attention—and simply making space to be together. My heart for The Gathering has always been that you would walk in just as you are and leave feeling a little lighter, a little more encouraged, and deeply reminded of how loved you are. I believe God meets us in such personal ways when we make room for Him.

And, of course, we’re going to have plenty of fun along the way! I’ve always called The Gathering a “party with a purpose,” and that’s exactly what I hope this night feels like—full of laughter, connection, encouragement, and moments that stay with you long after the night is over. Bring a friend, come ready to have some fun, and know that there’s a place for you at The Gathering.

I can’t wait to see you!

With love,

Amy Bezet
