What is The Gathering Place?

The Gathering Place (Minowaakiing) is an urban (MKE), Inter-Tribal (many different tribes), Native American Church plant.

Why did we plant a Native American church in Milwaukee?

70-80% of Native Americans live in urban areas (not on reservations) with 10,000-15,000 in the Milwaukee metro area.

No (gaawiin). Most Native American churches are located on or near Indian reservations and serve those local tribes.

Do you have to be Native American to attend The Gathering Place?

No (gaawiin), but we ask that you think missionally. Prepare to serve by learning about Native American history, culture, and language.

How can I get involved?
