The Fellowship Gathering 2025—An Invitation to Connect

Each year in the city and week of the PCA General Assembly, we host the Fellowship Gathering. There are no name tags or official roles, just conversation and laughter—and this year, a bit of bowling. Some wear jeans, others wear bow ties. Some are new to the PCA, others have been around for decades. It’s not about decisions or debates—it’s about being known and welcomed.

We gather because sometimes, we just need to remember we’re not alone in this work. Ministry can be tough, and it’s easy to get lost in the demands and feel disconnected. The grind of Assembly work may exacerbate these feelings. And so we gather for an evening where you can have a drink, share a laugh, and talk openly, to ground us in the why behind what we do. It’s not about being polished or perfect; it’s about being present with each other. Those simple moments of connection remind us why we keep going.

The Fellowship Gathering offers a beautiful cross-section of the PCA, bringing together people from all walks of life within the denomination. It’s a reminder that the PCA, with all its variety, is united in its purpose and the beauty of its people. Every year, this gathering paints a vibrant picture of what the body of Christ looks like when we come together in joy.

This year’s Gathering will take place from 7 to 11 p.m. at Southside Social (1818 Chestnut St, Chattanooga, TN 37408), a lively venue with open space for conversation, food, and bowling. The cost of admission ($25) includes your first drink and full access to the evening (so eat dinner prior to showing up). The Gathering provides a chance to meet, reconnect, rest, and have fun. We’ll see you there.
