We exist to EXPERIENCE GOD
AND INVITE OUR WORLD INTO HIS COMMUNITY
Our Identity
A Church, A Ministry Center, A Movement
We are a vibrant local church that is committed to biblical teaching, fellowship, the sacraments, worship, prayer, and loving care for one another. We are also committed to loving our neighbors and caring for our city. We like to think of the wonderful community God has placed us in as our “parish” and we desire to proclaim the good news of Jesus through our words, our lives, and practical acts of service.
Additionally, our pastoral team intentionally and joyfully co-exists and co-labors with a number of local and trans-local para-church ministry partners for the purpose of equipping and training leaders. These strategic relationships help maximize our missional output for the Kingdom, and they form the framework for our ongoing call to be a ministry center.
The Gate is also part of an exciting movement. We are privileged to serve as the primary hub for Messenger Fellowship – a ministry network that covers and convenes leaders here in the USA and internationally. Even more importantly, The Gate, along with believers from around the world, is part of a lasting movement that began when Jesus called his first followers to the world-transforming project of “fishing for people”. And Jesus’ church is still on the move!

"After every service we have visitors meet & greet. Join us for a few minutes in the Welcome Corner to meet the pastoral team and elders and receive your welcome gift.
Kids
If you are visiting with kids infant – 5th grade, park near the lower level entrance. You will enter through the double doors directly into the children’s department! The children’s ministry occupies the entire downstairs level. There is a welcome area where a greeter will assist you with checking in your children and directing you to their classrooms. Following service, parents need to bring the pick up tag received at check-in to your child’s classroom for pick-up.

Teens
Youth Group is available at our 10:15 AM Service. Youth at The Gate, all 6th – 12th graders, begin in the main service with their parents. After worship the youth will be dismissed to their class which meets in the student center. Your teens can follow the herd and they will end up in the correct place! There are also signs in the hallways directing to the student center.
