APRIL 28:
It's our fourth Saturday of the month and that means we will take a tag-team approach to preaching. Join Reverends Irie, Kamilah and Yvette as we continue in the Book of Acts. We will explore some of the social justice priorities of The Gathering-A Womanist Church through the lens of the black woman's experience. Come and hear a prophetic word at 6PM sharp. |
NEW: Join us for our new WomanistWednesdays social media conversations that we have launched just for you!

Jesus's ministry was rooted in responding to the least, last and lost. He was intentional in ministering to those who were marginalized, oppressed, downtrodden and made to feel as if their worth and value were being negotiated. Simply put, Jesus's ministry, at the core, brought about healing that was authentic and necessary.
Black women are the most oppressed group in the world. When Black women are liberated, all marginalized groups are liberated. Through the use of a theological framework known as womanist theology, we are able to look at the sacred text in a way that hears the voices of the oppressed and that moves them to a life of sustaining vibrancy.
The Gathering is a womanist church that exists to create worship experiences that address social justice issues through womanist preaching and action. Welcome to The Gathering - A Womanist Church, a new worshipping community in Dallas, where all are welcome...really!

womanist preaching
Womanist preaching is rooted in the African American female experience of seeking the liberation, healing and restorative justice in the Gospel. It is about breaking down the systems and dangerous interpretations of the biblical text that seek to keep people in bondage. Womanist preaching is about setting the captives free!
