After three years, the Gathering, a new church start in Fargo, North Dakota has decided to disband.

70 people worshiped on and off at “The Stage at Island Park.”  The community theater building has several spaces, including a theater and a pavilion.

This past summer worship was held at Linwood Park, inside or under a picnic shelter area throughout the park. The numbers of people attending during the summer dwindled as people went to the lake on vacation.  When fall arrived the number of worshippers did not return.

Rev. Cody Schuler was the clergy leader part-time for The Gathering. He serves as Assistant Director of the Fargo-Moorhead Coalition for Homeless Persons.  He will continue in that role on a full-time basis. 

“What happens next is obviously in the hands of God,” said Ben Ingebretson, director of new church plants for the Dakotas-Minnesota Area. “We are grateful for the work of Pastor Cody and all of those who were connected to The Gathering for their work in making disciples.”
