Visionary
​
Bobby Walthour Jr. Senior Pastor of the Gathering Place Ministries has been in Ministry for over 35 years, and he has been pastoring for over 30 years. He has vast experience in Ministry, including founding a Bible Institute, broadcasting on Radio & Television, serving as Substance Abuse Counselor and Chaplain for the Correctional Facilities and Hospice Care. He has received a Master’s in Christian Ministry and Bachelor’s in Christian Counseling. Although he has vast experience, Pastor Walthour’s greatest joy is to see people drawing closer to God, lives being changed because of the Gospel of Christ, and seeing shackles being loosened, burdens being lifted, and people set free.
​
Pastor Walthour views himself as a “Servant of the Lord”, he never tries to exalt himself by being more than, at the end of the day he is a Servant of God, he sees his calling as a blessing that God has thought enough of him for His service, “it’s an honor, a privilege, and a big responsibility.” God chose him and he’s thankful. He has the heart of a Shepard and Teacher and he is sensitive to the hurt and pain of God’s people. He says the gospel should be simple enough for a child to understand, and in doing so others will understand and grow. Church is a hospital and people should be free to come without being judged or condemned. So, come as you are: jeans and t-shirts; come experience a relationship of God without the traditions of Church.
