"The Lord is my Shepherd… He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Show me your ways O Lord, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth… my hope is in you all day long." (Psalms 23 & 25)
A short guide to the personality and purpose of Gateway Community Church, gateway to a great way of life.
-
At Gateway Christ is the Gate! He invites "whosoever will" to enter and find life abundant, life worth living and life eternal.
-
We want to be believers with a big heart for God and a caring heart for people.
-
We have a mission - To enter God's gateway to life, opening the gate for others, together loving and serving the Lord with gladness as Christ's ambassadors.
-
Our Pastor strives to teach, preach and unleash God's mighty Word, the Bible, with love, passion, clarity and conviction - comforting, challenging and encouraging all who hear.
-
We treasure CHURCH, God's expanding family on earth; a family of acceptance, truth, witness, education, love and growth brought to life and nurtured by God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
-
We're Christians who are Baptists with the accent on Christian. God is our Father, Christ is our Savior, the Holy Spirit is our enabler, the Church is our family of faith, the Bible is our book of books. We have a mission on earth, the joy of the Lord is our strength and heaven is our future - and there's more. All are welcome, everybody is somebody, nobody is nobody.
-
We value God's crowning creation - a human being made in His image. Every adult, teen and child is guided to God and the wonderful Christian life.
-
We have a calling - To be Christ's ambassadors in our world here and now, anticipating the imminent return of Christ.
In conclusion, if you want to know what we're really all about, come and worship! This is your personal invitation.
"I was glad when they said unto me, 'Let us go into the house of the Lord."
"Worship the Lord with gladness… Know that the Lord is God. It is He who made us and we are His, we are His people… Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise… For the Lord is good and his love endures forever, His faithfulness continues through all generations."
(Selected from Psalms 122 &100)
