A Gathering Place franchise is a ten-year commitment. It is a business and ministry relationship that is a rewarding endeavor for both parties involved. Through the shared values of building a relationship with God and creating ministry and business in balance, this becomes a very exciting and dynamic pursuit.

To begin your process with us, contact us and we will send you an information packet , which includes a welcome letter, brochure, application and non-disclosure agreement. There is no cost to this initial phase.

Once you return the information packet, we will set up a tour for you to come and visit a center near you.
