Lutheran Campus Ministry
The Gathering Place
The Gathering Place has served as a house of worship, fellowship, and conversation for Lutheran Campus Ministry in Oshkosh since 1967. It serves as a place where students can stop by during the school day for free coffee and snacks. It is a perfect location to study, connect, or take a break from a hard day’s work. We are located across the street from Horizon Village at 620 Elmwood. Stop by and visit us.
More Than Worship
The Gathering Place is not just a place for students to worship, but a place where students can connect with one another through fellowship, organized volunteering in the community, and a common goal of coming together as one group.
Students have access to our free coffee shop inside The Gathering Place during open hours.
