Jesus is at work within our church! In the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023, we have grown by 25% in adult attendance in-person, 20% in online attendance, 40% in baptisms, and 17% in white bags taken. I am thrilled to be a part of a church that lives out the great commission.

GateWay has been a beneficiary of many believers before us, taking Godly risks to reach our community, and we want to continue on mission. In an effort to make room for new people to know Jesus and grow in their faith, we are looking to add a 3 rd Sunday morning service in the fall of 2024. The service times would be 8:30am Choir and Orchestra, 10:00am Worship Band, and 11:30am Worship Band. We plan to have children’s programming at all services.

I have three prayers for us:

• Pray for us to continue making an impact in our community through sharing the Gospel and helping people live out their faith.
• Pray about attending the 11:30 a.m. service to help bring momentum to this new endeavor.
• Pray about using your time and talents on one of our Sunday morning service teams.

1. Will children's ministry be available at all services?
Yes. Children’s ministry will be available at each service, including the 5th and 6th Grade program at 10:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.

2. What will happen with Junior High services?
Junior High will be at the 10:00am service.

3. Will there be a service in ASL?
The Deaf and hard of hearing program will continue to be part of our 10:00am service.

4. When will the cafe be open?
The cafe will be open before the 8:30am service and between services.

5. When will the new service be added?
We will move to three services starting August 18.

6. How can I help?
You can help by praying about serving at one or more of our services and by inviting friends.

7. Which services will be live-streamed?
All three services will be live-streamed.
