History
Established in 1996.
Established in 1996 Gathering Place Church began with a large rock, a Bible and seven people in a living room. The year was 1996. That year, the Yankees beat the Braves, Friends was the hit show on TV, and Pastor John Ettore was taking a year sabbatical from ministry. He had spent the previous 12 years as an Associate Pastor of a dynamic, Spirit-filled church here in San Diego. One day while sitting on a rock overlooking the city during his daily prayer time, the Lord spoke to his heart and told him to plant a church. This was not an option he had ever considered before.
Two months later, seven people gathered together in a living room to study the Bible. That was the beginning of GPC, now a thriving congregation of passionate God-followers.
