The Gathering at Victory Acres
Creating Space for God
Who we are
The Eric and Rachelle Himelick family live at Victory Acres and have led the congregation at The Gathering since 2019. Eric is a entrepreneur, life coach, and podcaster.
We have welcomed individuals and families from the inner city to walk the road with us at Victory Acres for years, and The Gathering also hosts groups and welcomes others to join us for events like the Nehemiah Discipleship Program.
We are a different kind of church. We are not tied to a building. Leaving money and time to focus on the things that matter to us – like people!
