MISSION: The Mission of Gateway Bible Church is:
"Guiding People Into A Growing Relationship With Christ"
VISION:
When Jesus was asked "which is the greatest commandment", he replied "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' " (Matthew 22:36-40 NIV)
Our vision has two components taken from this scripture (which provides us our "next steps" in our spiritual journey of "seeking, knowing..."):
"A Passionate Pursuit of God" (Love the Lord with all your heart, soul and mind.)
We do this through:
- Seeking Him
- Knowing Him
- Growing in Him
We do this through:
- Serving
- Sharing
- Sending
VALUES:
Value 1: Nothing significant happens outside the context of Relationships.
- InReach - Relationships with followers of Christ. (John 13:34)
- OutReach - Relationships with seekers. (Matthew 22:39)
- UpReach - Relationship with God. (Matthew 22:37-38)
Value 2: Nothing compares to the power of the Holy Spirit at work in our lives.
Value 3: Nothing has more authority in our lives than the truth of God’s Word.
