LARGE
CHURCH
From the beginning of the Christian faith, people came together to celebrate the connection they enjoyed with God and one another. This encounter with God's love is an important way that we arrive at our destination of living the adventure with Jesus.
​
Large group gatherings take place in many formats at Gateway. One main way is when we gather together on Sunday mornings for three identical Large Church services at:
​
8:30, 10:00, and 11:30am
​
​
for 60 minutes of worship which includes creative music, a message and prayer.

& offered a connecting cards where you can let us know how we can best serve and pray for you.

SMALL
GROUPS
Gateway Church believes that we are meant to live in a community of believers.
The book of Hebrews tells us to,
"... not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing ... but to live life authentically as we "spur one another on towards
love & good deeds."
​
Small Groups are a place for people to study God's word together and discuss the challenges of life.
​
It's also a place we pray and care for one another. It is a safe place to get closer to others & spur one another on to live the adventure of following Jesus!
To get connected into a small group, please let us know here or in person on Sunday.
