The Gathering
August 19-21, 2026
Zeeland, Michigan
Community Reformed Church
Why We Gather
The Gathering brings together people from across our family of churches for worship, fellowship, and celebration of God’s work among His people in the Alliance. This event helps us to build meaningful relationships across our wider church family while equipping us and our churches to collectively be a faithful witness to Jesus, the hope of the world. Those joining us leave encouraged, connected, and inspired.
What We Do
During our time together participants can expect to hear about the ongoing vision and strategic direction of the Alliance of Reformed Churches, engage in inspiring worship, share meals with friends from across the country, and break-out sessions that will offer practical training and encouragement so participants leave equipped to serve in their own ministry contexts. This year’s theme, Engage, invites us to discover discipleship and its many facets as well as how it has the power to impact and revitalize our churches and communities.
Our Next Gathering
Join us August 19–21, 2026 at Community Reformed Church in Zeeland, MI, for Engage. Together, we will explore how God calls us to equip disciples to faithfully follow Jesus in a shifting world. Through worship, teaching, and shared learning, we will sharpen our vision, strengthen our practices, and step fully into God’s call of discipleship.
Cost of the event will be $80, with a reduced early bird fee of $60 for all registrations completed on or before April 30. This year we are also offering a day pass for $30. To register for individuals and groups, please click on the button below.
