Historic Santa Claus Campground
Santa Claus, Indiana
Pastors, ministry leaders, and any follower of Jesus seeking community, collaboration, and rest are invited to join us Thursday, October 8th for a day of rest, inspiration, and encouragement.
We will be gathering at the Historic Santa Claus Campground from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. There will be times of worship and wisdom, prayer and silence, community and conversations for the joy of the Lord. Lunch will be provided.
Let us gather to strengthen the Kingdom in our time.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." - Matthew 11:28Bring someone from your congregation and your registration is covered. Church leaders need rest too, and we would love to bless you with a day of it.
This year's Gathering is built around experience more than the stage: worship and wisdom, prayer and silence, community and conversation. Lunch is provided, and we will close the day together in worship and prayer.

The Gathering is open to anyone who is interested in attending. Whether you are a pastor, ministry leader, volunteer, or church member, we welcome you to join us for a day of rest, worship, and fellowship.
The Gathering is $25 per person. Though mostly supported by Santa Claus Christian Church to be a blessing for all, we still would like for all who gather to be invested in our time together. Pastors who bring someone from their congregation attend free. Snacks, coffee, and lunch are provided for all.
New this year, we are gathering at the Historic Santa Claus Campground rather than the church building. The campground is just a few minutes from downtown Santa Claus. See the map above for directions.
We recommend bringing a Bible, a notebook, and a pen. You may also want to bring a water bottle and any other personal items you may need throughout the day.
Registration for The Gathering is now open. You can register online using the button below. If you have any questions or need assistance with registration, please contact us at 812-937-2938.
The dress code for The Gathering is casual. We are at the campground this year, so dress comfortably for the weather and wear shoes you can walk in.
Yes, lunch and snacks will be provided for all attendees. If you have any dietary restrictions or food allergies, please let us know when you register so we can accommodate your needs.
While the gift of streaming is a great blessing to the church, we desire to focus on the in-person experience of this event. Therefore, we will not be offering a livestream option.
If you have any questions or need more information about The Gathering, please contact us at 812-937-2938. We are happy to help!
