Our mission

Loving God

Loving God begins in the heart, with a personal relationship with Him. As we gather and participate in Christ-honoring worship services and respond to the preaching of God’s Word, this love flourishes. Our desire is to follow what Jesus commands us to do; to love Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. (Mark 12:30) 

Serving Others

We serve others as we find a place of ministry in the local body. We serve others by sharing the Gospel with those within our reach who need the Lord; and by participating in church outreach and giving to missions.

Equipping Believers

We become stronger and grow together, in Christ, through the study of God’s Word. This occurs in our weekly worship services, in our Life Groups, and midweek Prayer time and Bible Study for adults, teenagers and children. As a Church, we want to disciple and train every member to participate in accomplishing our church’s purpose that God has given us to do.

statement of beliefs

Gateway Church operates under the articles of the Baptist faith.  The beliefs of Gateway Church are found in the Bible, which we believe is God's infallible written Holy Word. We believe that it was uniquely, verbally and fully inspired by the Holy Spirit and that it was written without error (inerrant). It is the supreme and final authority in all matters on which it speaks.


  • We believe there is one true God, eternally existing in three persons; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit--each co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfections. 


  • We believe that Jesus Christ is God, the Living Word, who became flesh through His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit and His virgin birth. Jesus Christ was 100% man and 100 % God.  He is a perfect Deity and true humanity united in one person forever.


  • We believe that Jesus lived a sinless life and voluntarily gave Himself for the sins of men by dying on the cross as their substitute. This satisfied divine justice, accomplishing salvation for all who trust in Him alone.


  • We believe that Jesus Christ rose from the dead in the same body, though glorified, in which He lived and died.


  • We believe that Jesus Christ ascended bodily into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God the Father. He is our only Mediator between God and man, and He continually makes intercession for His children.


  • We believe that man was originally created in the image of God. Because he disobeyed God and chose sin, he was alienated from his Creator. That historic fall brought all mankind under divine condemnation.


  • We believe that man's nature is corrupted, and in his own strength, is totally unable to please God. Every man is in need of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit.  


  • We believe that Salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on the cross of Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins.


  • We believe that the great blessing, which Christ secures to such as believe in Him, is justification; that justification includes the pardon of all sin, and the promise of eternal life; that it is bestowed, not in consideration of any work of righteousness which we have done, but solely through faith in the Redeemer’s blood.


  • We believe that repentance and faith are sacred duties and inseparable graces, wrought in our souls by the regenerating Spirit of God. When we are deeply convicted of our guilt, danger and helplessness, and of the way of salvation by Christ, we turn to God with brokenness, confession and humbly ask for mercy; at the same time heartily receiving the Lord Jesus Christ and relying upon Him alone as the only and all-sufficient Savior.


  • We believe that sanctification is the process by which, according to the will of God, we are made partakers of His holiness; that it is a progressive work; that it is begun in regeneration; and that it is carried on in the hearts of believers by the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, through the appropriated means of the Word of God, self-examination, self-denial, and prayer.


  • We believe that all true believers are sealed by the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption; that they are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation.​​


  • We believe that God admonishes His people to assemble together regularly for worship; to worship a Risen Savior, to participate in ordinances, to be equipped through the Scriptures how to live for Christ, and to give and receive encouragement.


  • We believe that the members are to give financially what God has required of them to support the ministries, activities, and Missions of the Local Church.  


  • We believe that at physical death the believer’s soul and spirit enters immediately into eternal, conscious fellowship with the Lord and awaits the resurrection of his body to everlasting glory and blessing. At physical death the unbeliever’s soul and spirit enters immediately into eternal, conscious separation from the Lord and awaits the resurrection of his body to everlasting judgment and condemnation.


  • We believe that Jesus Christ will come again, first for His Church [all born-again believers]; this is called the Rapture; then there will be a time of Tribulation that will take place on earth for 7 years. At the end of the Tribulation period, He will return to the earth -- personally, visibly and bodily, to rule and reign 1000 years.


  • We believe the Lord Jesus Christ commanded all believers to proclaim the Gospel throughout the world and to disciple men of every nation. The fulfillment of that Great Commission requires a total commitment to "Him who loved us and gave Himself for us".
