Every three years, youth, young adults, and leaders from across the NAB come together in Orange County, California, for an experience unlike any other. The Gathering is a week of of powerful worship, impactful service projects, and tons of fun. The next Gathering is taking place July 2025.
Want to promote The Gathering among your youth? Or maybe drum up some financial support from your congregation as your teens raise money for this unforgettable trip? The team team behind The Gathering has your back. They put together a collection of short videos perfectly designed to promote The Gathering to your church.
The videos at the link below include testimonies from students who attended the previous Gathering. There are also recap videos from the The Gathering in 2022 to give you a closer look at what takes place in during this week of ministry, worship, and fellowship.

If we are to love like Christ in our everyday lives – a love Scot McKnight describes as “a rugged, affective commitment of presence, advocacy, and direction” – we must allow ourselves to be vulnerable like Christ. This Advent season, let’s dive into what it looks like when the God of the universe shows us how to love – a vulnerable, irrepressive, and potent love – and how we in turn should respond. You can sign up to receiving daily devotionals through the entire season of Advent, which starts December 1, by clicking on the link below.
