The Gathering
at The Hope Center KC
Built between 1902 and 1923, the former Annunciation Catholic Church was revived by The Hope Center KC after its closure in 2004. Now restored, it is open as The Gathering KC, a vibrant community space on Kansas City’s east side.
The Gathering KC sought an elegant brand identity that honored the history and revival of its former church space while remaining versatile for all types of events. Inspired by the venue’s striking interior, the branding features a navy and gold color palette that mirrors the deep blue ceiling and ornate gold accents. Custom icons were designed using shapes found in the building’s architecture — from its arched windows to detailed stone carvings — creating a cohesive visual connection to the space. The result is a refined yet approachable identity that reflects The Gathering’s spirit of community and timeless beauty.
