Gatherings
What is a Gathering and why do we have them?
RockFish Church is missional in reaching others for Christ. Gatherings are designed to welcome and connect people curious about faith.
We believe that inviting others to watch and experience a RockFish Church service with you is an easy and great way to create relationships, build community, worship together, and connect people to Christ.

Is a gathering a Small Group?
No. Where a Gathering has a similar feel to a small group, RockFish Groups are different in nature than a Gathering.
Groups are designed to build each other up through community and discipleship outside of RockFish Church services. Gatherings meet and participate together in the online worship experience while encouraging and supporting each other.
