IDAHO FALLS Pastor Alipio Amaral is passionate about teaching the word of God. He has a unique perspective on faith and how worship services should be administered.
The Gathering, a new church that began holding worship services inside the Westbank Convention Center at 525 River Parkway in Idaho Falls several weeks ago, is a group of about 150 nondenominational Christians who come together every Sunday to worship God in their own way.
Amaral describes the team of more than a dozen pastors who administrate the church as “geniuses” whose vision is to love God, make disciples and impact the world.
