Gatherings · Chattanooga, TN
Door One · The Entry
For people ready to stop managing their wounds and start healing them.
Not a program, not a self-help framework, not a service to sit through. A weekly gathering built the way Jesus worked: healing first — honest, prayerful, unhurried, and free.
Come as you are, from wherever you are: still in a church, long gone from one, or never in one at all. No reservation, no vetting, no follow-up you didn’t ask for. The door is the whole invitation.
mikveh
Hebrew · “a gathering [of waters]”
The immersion pool where entry into the community began — the word itself means a gathering. You didn’t study the water. You went under it.

Door Two · The vision up close
Everything this movement believes, in a short-term class
A 12 week class walking through everything underneath this movement — the lost cornerstones, the beth ab, the rabbi-talmid paradigm — with guest voices who are actually living it leading each class. Taken seriously, this can change a life's trajectory. It asks honestly, what would it look like to truly follow Jesus and doesn't shy away from hard questions.
It's worth being honest about the fact that this door asks more: your evenings, your honesty, your commitment to the people beside you. But let's be careful with words: this isn't discipleship, and we won't call it that — discipleship is a conferred relationship, not a course. This is exposure: the whole vision, up close, with room to ask everything. It's paid — enough skin in the game to mean it — with scholarships, so cost is never the reason someone stays out.
Apply for the class

Beyond Chattanooga
Chattanooga is where the pattern starts — not where it stays. If you’re elsewhere, there are two ways in from anywhere.
