"For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them."
— Matthew 18:20
Finding your place in a community of faith should be simple. But in a world of 225,000 churches, it's become overwhelming—buried under outdated directories, aggressive ads, and platforms that seem more interested in your data than your soul.
GatheredNetwork was born from a simple belief: connecting with community shouldn't be this hard.
We're building something different. Not a corporate platform, but a tool designed to serve—seekers looking for home, and churches ready to welcome them.
GatheredNetwork is part of a broader vision to provide faith communities with tools that honor their mission without compromise:
Discover your spiritual home among 225,000+ curated churches
Read and study Scripture on an ad-free platform
Community infrastructure without Big Tech control
Stay informed with curated Christian news
Every product in the Gathered ecosystem is built on three principles:
Your attention isn't for sale
We don't mine, sell, or exploit
Features designed for authentic connection
We exist to help seekers find home and churches find those who are searching for them.
This isn't about building the next tech unicorn. It's about creating space—digital space that feels sacred—where people can discover community without being tracked, targeted, or treated as a product.
We're ad-free, community-supported, and built to last. When you contribute to GatheredNetwork—whether through a thoughtful review or supporting your church's presence—you're investing in a tool that serves everyone.
Big Tech platforms see faith communities as data sources and revenue streams. Algorithms decide who sees your church's posts. Privacy policies change overnight. Your community becomes a product.
We believe you deserve better.
GatheredNetwork gives you autonomy. Churches control their presence. Seekers discover authentically. Community happens organically. No middleman. No manipulation. No compromise.
I didn't set out to build a tech platform. I set out to solve a problem I'd experienced myself—the challenge of finding authentic Christian community in a digital world that feels increasingly hollow.
My journey with faith began in an unexpected way. As a teenager, I attended what would become known as the Brownsville Revival in Pensacola, Florida—a movement that shook me to my core and shaped everything that followed. I spent years immersed in that community, experiencing something I can only describe as the presence of God in a profound, life-altering way.
But I've also walked through darkness. Eleven years ago, I lost my first daughter, Ava. In that valley, I came to understand the pain of David, the grief of Job, and the desperate need for community when the world feels like it's falling apart.
I know what it's like to search for a church and feel overwhelmed. I know what it's like to need connection and not know where to find it. And I know that the tools we use to discover community shouldn't feel transactional, exploitative, or hollow.
So I built something better.
GatheredNetwork isn't just code and databases—it's a calling. It's born from the belief that "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds" (2 Corinthians 10:4). This is spiritual work disguised as technology.
I'm building this from Allentown, Pennsylvania—not Silicon Valley. I'm a developer, a father, and someone who believes deeply that authentic community is one of the greatest needs of our time.
If you have feedback, questions, or just want to connect:
I read every email.
GatheredNetwork is community-supported, not ad-supported.
Churches invest in Presence Manager tools to connect with seekers searching in their area. Seekers contribute small amounts to leave thoughtful reviews. Communities pay for Group Chat infrastructure.
Everyone contributes a little, so no one is exploited. No venture capital. No exit strategy. Just sustainable tools built to serve.
Whether you're searching for a church home, leading a congregation, or simply believe there's a better way to build technology for faith communities—you're in the right place.
This is about more than finding a church. It's about reclaiming digital space for authentic Christian community.
Let's build it together.
