Anne Crossman
With a group of givers pursuing friendship and growth, join a conversation on Rediscovering Jonah by the late Tim Keller. Though many are familiar with the story of Jonah, who defied God and found himself inside the belly of a whale, fewer are familiar with his struggle to reconcile the God of mercy with the God of justice. Keller will help us to glean insights that can make us bridge builders, peacemakers and agents of reconciliation in the world.
This Peer Group welcomes those who seek meaningful discussion, lively dialogue, and honest reflections.
Host: Anne Crossman, Gathering member
Who: Givers seeking friendship with other givers from every stage of life.
When: This group will meet three to four times, starting in February 2026, followed by an in-person reunion at our next Annual Conference in September 2026.
Criteria to join our community events
- Follow Jesus as Lord and Savior.
- Give at least $200,000 a year to Christian causes. Though the number isn't a rigid threshold, it represents a proxy for the types of people who are asking and wrestling with the same questions around wise stewardship, giving well, avoiding pitfalls, raising the next generation, allocating resources, defining a family legacy, etc. People come to The Gathering to pursue relationships with peers who are exploring similar issues with a measure of humility, vulnerability, and trust.
