Tapping the power of
relationships and collaboration
The MISSION of N.E.T. Gatherings is to provide motivation and opportunity for pastors, churches, and nonprofit ministries to know and trust each other. In the process they learn to collaborate together, sharing the common goal of loving and serving people in the congregations, the communities, and the countries of their ministry focus.
We also provide specialized education and training opportunities through classes, workshops, seminars, and speakers. These events give tools and resources for personal and leadership development, helping members and participants become more and more what God has created and called them to be.
Here is an example of the types of ministries N.E.T Gathering participants are ready to help with.
Pastors just can’t do it all!
They are called to love and serve their members, helping them deal with the changes and challenges of life. And life has gotten so complex in our culture today, that a vast array of resources and skills are needed to meet the needs of the congregation.
The wise and faithful pastor will lead his people to recognize that the neighbors around their church have many of those same needs. The brokenness of our world leaves people empty and grasping, looking for answers, looking for help, and looking for hope.

about The Founder
Dr. Dan Critchett
Executive Director
Dr. Dan Critchett has served in the church and nonprofit world for over fifty years.
“I have known many pastors who would love to find trusted partners to help them in specialized areas of ministry. I have also known many ministry leaders who would love to come alongside a pastor and local church and serve in their area of passion and expertise. I started N.E.T. Gatherings to help those pastors and ministry leaders connect and explore ways to work together. When I see the beauty of how this works, I know we’re doing the right thing!”
