About this project

The Gathering Church is recording a new album of traditional hymns arranged in a different way with plenty of guests.  It is a followup to 2010's Christmas Nights EP, a successful start to the recording vision of Chapel Hill's Gathering Church. 

This project is larger in scale and needs your support.  As it is a full length with guest vocalists, we need a larger recording budget and honorariums for the guests that appear on the record.  Your money will go towards this and other expenses involved in manufacturing CDs and artwork along the way.

Proceeds from the recording after expenses will be split evenly between the production team and fundraising for the music ministry of the Gathering Church. Donations are to the church - a 501c3 non-profit - allowing them to be written off on your taxes.

The Gathering Church

Has not connected their Facebook account.

The Gathering Church began in 2009, and now meets at Creekside Elementary School (Durham) every Sunday. It is a church committed to being present to God, connected to each other, and engaged in the world. Jeff Crawford serves as Music Director, who also owns Chapel Hill's Arbor Ridge Studios, where a community of musicians collaborates on projects such as this one and participates in the weekly worship at the church. In 2010 the church released "Christmas Nights," and EP of rearranged traditional songs of Christmas. You can hear that recording at http://allgather.bandcamp.com.
