Month of Prayer

A creative corporate prayer experience.

January is Gateway's Month of Prayer. Everyone is welcome to join us as we pray for healing, our communities, our marriages and families, our International Workers, our ministries, etc…  Passionate corporate prayer is what makes it possible for Gateway to launch people out to live the adventure with Jesus. This year, we kicked off the new year, had a special healing service, and identified three big prayer requests for our church during 2020. We love seeing and celebrating what God is doing!

​

Hearing God Workshop

Discerning the voice of Jesus.

In John 10, Jesus promised that, “My sheep hear my voice.”  Being able to hear and discern the voice of Jesus is an essential part of living the adventure of following him every day.  Once a year, after Easter, Gateway offers the Hearing God Workshop.  This runs on Thursdays for 7 weeks from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. and is perfect for those who want to enhance their ability to hear the voice of Jesus all week long.

The next Hearing God Seminar will be held post-Easter in 2021. Begins weekly on Thursday evenings. Begins Thursday, April 8 - May 20, 2021 from 7-9pm in the Alcove.

Anointing with oil & prayer for divine healing.

Compassion Ministry

           Helping those in need in our community.

"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. You shall love your neighbour as yourself." Matthew 22:38-39.

​

The Compassion Team seeks to glorify the Lord through acts of compassion, motivated by His unfailing love for us, and is desirous of directing others to Christ.

When one approaches the Compassion Team for assistance, the priority will be to uncover the root of the problem, and to try and determine the best long-term solution. This could include spiritual or financial counselling, elder intervention, ongoing accountability, job search or career training, as well as or instead of financial assistance.
