The Zone Gathering

Today, we say goodbye to a dear friend, www.zonegathering.com. For four years, this site has served to motivate, inspire, inform, frustrate, invigorate, celebrate, and sometimes humiliate the small group leaders of National Community Church.

Zonegathering.com was launched in March 2005 at the whim of zone leader Nathan Gonzales. Heather Zempel quickly jumped on board and a gathering place for ongoing training, information and idea sharing, and Biblical study was created. The site experienced periods of great success (think Redskins Study Guide) and times of lesser success (think Friday Scorecards). However, in the past few months, it seems that Zonegathering has been less and less of a viable vehicle for providing information, building community, and training leaders. In fact, it’s been on life support for quite a while.

So, today we pull the plug. This is the last post. And we bury zonegathering.com. Rest in Peace.

In Fall 2009, we will be launching a new site for leaders that will contain training videos, leadership development training, articles to help you lead, and recommendations for curriculum.
