1. What should I expect at a service?
Expect to walk into an atmosphere where folks genuinely care about you and each other. The music is modern and current with the writers of the day. The preaching is practical and down-to-earth and brings the truths from the Bible into our culture. There is also time for refreshments and socializing if you choose to.
2. What do most people wear?
You'll see many jeans and not as many ties, but most folks wear what they are comfortable in.
3. If I have kids, where will they go?
We have a great Gateway Kidz program for newborns through elementary age children. If your child is in Middle School (KRANCC) or High School, we have programs for them during the week. See their webpages for a look into their ministries.
4. How long is the service?
The service is from 10:45 a.m. to 12:00 noon. (On April 18, 2010, our service time will change to 10am.)
5. Will I feel pressured to share, give or be embarrassed in anyway?
No. We make a point to allow you to feel comfortable and to just visit until you feel you want to get more involved.
6. What is REALLY behind this church?
This church is really about relationships. We want to help you develop your relationship with God and with others. That is our primary purpose in this community.
7. Is this church involved in the community?
We make an effort to be involved and "give back" to the community through various outreach and project opportunities throughout the year. Gateway is committed, now and in the future, to continuing an ongoing involvement in the community.
8. What do you believe?
We are a Bible church and, therefore, believe that the Bible holds the message from the Lord that is practical for today's world. We believe that Jesus Christ is the way to God and that you can have a personal relationship with Him. See the link on our website for more details on our beliefs.
9. Why do you meet in a school?
We believe the church is the people and not the building. We are a young church and have property on Route 29 and await the day when we can build on that property. Until that time, or until further opportunities arise, we rent a local school as our meeting place for the church.
10. Do you have other ways to build relationships?
There are multiple ministries at Gateway that foster relationships. We have youth, men's, women's, children's, worship, and many other ministries. At the core of Gateway is what we call "groups" or "group life". These groups meet separate from Sunday morning and meet in local homes to dig deeper into studies and relationships. This is where true community is formed. Please consider joining a group as a method to invest and be cared for.
