Welcome to The Gathering Yreka

We're so glad you're here.

Whether you've been following Jesus for years, you're just beginning to explore faith, or you're simply searching for hope, you'll find a place where you are welcome and a place where you can belong.

At The Gathering, we believe church isn't for people who have it all together. It's for people who know they need Jesus.

No perfect people. Only a perfect Savior.

We'd love the opportunity to meet you and your family.


Join us Sundays @ 10:30AM

1115 Lane St, Yreka, CA

Regular Worship Nights. These nights create space to step away from the pace of everyday life, draw closer to Jesus, and be refreshed by the Holy Spirit.

filled with GRACE

Come as you are! We strive to be a safe place to belong, to ask honest questions, to build authentic relationships, and to grow together as disciples of Jesus. Learn more about our Sunday Service.

where RECOVERY happens

We believe Jesus meets people exactly where they are and loves them too much to leave them there. TGYreka is a place where it’s OK to NOT be OK… really. FMI-Facebook
