The Gathering Church | A Place To Belong

HEALTHY CHURCHES CHANGE CITIES

A healthy, gospel-centered church for the Shreveport-Bossier area.
Gather with purpose. Grow deeply. Live sent.

Transform Lives in Shreveport-Bossier with us

Gather. Grow. Go.

These three rhythms shape everything we do.

They keep us centered on Jesus and moving together as a healthy church.

Where We Are Right Now

The Gathering is currently in the pre-launch season. We are building a launch team, gathering in groups, hosting interest gatherings, serving our city, and preparing for public launch.

Our Heart for the City

God is already at work in Shreveport-Bossier — and we want to join Him there.

The Gathering is not simply about starting another church service. Our heart is to help cultivate a healthy gospel presence across our city — serving families, students, marriages, neighborhoods, businesses, schools, and everyday people searching for hope.

We believe healthy churches help bring healing, hope, and restoration to the communities around them.

We are praying for Shreveport-Bossier to encounter the presence and love of Jesus in real and lasting ways.

Loved learning with other churches at @excelleadersnetwork Team Night! ?

A weekend full of learning, growing, and being reminded that we’re not just planting a church—we’re on a mission.

And yes, the kids are in it with us. Because The Gathering is a multi-generational church plant from the ground up. ?

What's already happening at The Gathering. ☀️

Women's + Men's + Middle School

This is in no way exclusive to our church launch. We are excited to build community with anyone and everyone. We've had some sweet middle schoolers from awesome churches come to hang out, and we have women coming in the same boat.

However — if you have any interest in launching with us, this is a great start.

DM us or fill out the form at gathersb.com/contact to get connected.

Where we are right now: pre-launch.

That means we're building a launch team.
The Launch Team isn't about perfection. It's simply people willing to take a step and help create a healthy church in our city.

Whether you've followed Jesus for years or are just exploring faith — whether you've been to a hundred churches or you've never set foot in one — there's a place for you here.

If it's stirring something in you, fill out the form at gathersb.com/contact and we'll be in touch.

Let's build this together. ?

WE GATHER.

A healthy church gathers around Jesus and one another. We gather to worship, pray, learn, and build authentic community — not as spectators, but as a family being formed by Jesus together.

Presence over performance.
People over polish.
Family over attendance.

Deep roots, not shallow speed. Disciples, not just crowds. Formation, not performance.

Gather. Grow. Go.

Three rhythms shape everything we do at The Gathering. They keep us centered on Jesus and moving together as a healthy church.

→ We GATHER in authentic community. Not as spectators, but as a family being formed by Jesus together.

→ We GROW in God's Word and Presence. Deep roots over shallow speed. Disciples over crowds.

→ We GO sent into our neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, and homes. Every member a missionary. Every place a mission field.

A healthy church formed by Jesus and sent for the good.

Daily reminder. ?

Jesus didn't die for the polished, presentable version of you. He died for the actual one. The one reading this — tired maybe, hopeful maybe, unsure maybe.

You don't have to perform your way into His love. You don't have to clean up to come close.

Come as you are. He's been waiting.

Save this. Send it to someone who needs it today.

Healthy churches change cities.

In a world that often feels disconnected, hurried, and performance-driven, we long to build something deeply rooted. A church centered on Jesus, grounded in Scripture, dependent on the Holy Spirit, and shaped through authentic community.

We believe a healthy church can bring real renewal to real people in real places.

And we're praying for Shreveport-Bossier to encounter the presence and love of Jesus in real and lasting ways.

We're Andy & Brinly Foxall — and together with our two kids, we're planting a healthy, gospel-centered church in this city we love.

Hi! ? We're Andy & Brinly Foxall.

Married for 17 years, raising two kids, running a small business out of Bossier City, and stepping into church planting after almost twenty years of ministry.

For nearly two decades, each of us has served in many different corners in ministry on staff at various churches. Through every season, God kept shaping a deeper burden in us: a desire to help build a healthy, Spirit-led, Scripture-rooted church centered on Jesus.

That dream has a name now. It's called The Gathering.

We're honored to help build this as pastors, parents, local business owners, and partners. And we'd love for you to be part of the story God is writing here. ?
