Our Vision

The Gathering Place is being established as a training center for those who wish have a deeper understanding of God and His Word.

Who we are

Dr. Robert Cathers

Bob was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and immigrated with his family to the United States at age 4 and was raised in Sylmar, California. At age 20, Bob attended Rhema Bible Training Center in Oklahoma and while there, God gave him a vision regarding Hebrews 1:8. From this verse came the acronym, SOARING, the Scepter of Authority and Righteousness in God. Over the past twenty years God has continued to reveal to him the depths of this scripture. At age 23, Bob established his first church, which he pastored for twenty years. At the same time, he also established other churches and ministries, which included a Bible school as well. After he received a word from God, Bob gave up this church to begin a new work, which was to establish a Gathering Place learning center, which he is the Apostle over. The Gathering Place was established as a prototype of a new kind of church based on the righteousness of God and the right-standing of believers before Him. In November 2006, Bob was presented with an honorary doctorate by the Latin University of Theology, which has been a major catalyst for new opportunities for him to minister both inside and outside of the church.Recently, Dr. Bob has been ministering to high authorities within the governments of Uganda, Kenya, and Burundi, in East Africa. He has also been hosting financial seminars for local businessmen in these countries as well. Locally, he has been teaching Righteousness Revolution and Paramount seminars in various locations and cities. Dr. Bob is continually expanding the Gathering Place as a learning center, and in the near future will be establishing a local location for the Latin University of Theology. He will also be expanding his seminar venues and speaking engagements as well.

Ministries

The name, Soaring Ministries was birthed out of a vision God gave me many years ago concerning the scepter of righteousness referenced in Hebrews 1:8:S- Scepter O-of A-Authority R- Righteousness I-i N-n G- GodWhat was revealed to me in that Vision was that Christians had authority over demonic powers through this scepter of righteousness. At the time, I didnt even know what the word, righteousness meant. I soon came to find out that righteousness means, Our right standing with God. As in the days of Martin Luther, many people were preaching works of the law and the flesh to gain favor with God, instead of simple faith in Jesus Christ. In reality, the reason the devil had dominion over people was because they did not walk in a righteousness consciousness. They were totally unaware of their right standing with God. Through the years, God has revealed His truth to me, especially through the letters of Paul, for this was the revelation that he received and preached to the early church. Righteousness removes the barriers that are between you and God, and allows you to come boldly to the throne of grace as referenced in Hebrews 4:16. It is amazing to me how many Christians live in condemnation, especially when Christ died to free us from condemnation. As Romans 8:1 declares, There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. That is the original Greek translation. Galatians 3:21 is very clear in that if God could have given a law to make us righteous, He would have done it. As we see in vs. 22, there is no law or work that can save us, just faith in Jesus Christ. However, because of a lack of self-esteem, it seems that people would rather do fleshly works than raise their hands and give praise and thanksgiving to God for their salvation.
