Men's Ministry
The men of Gateway Ministries believe that God has anointed us to lift up His name, build up His church and to establish His Kingdom. We do this through our witness, our worship and our work; thus, we make ourselves available for periodic "Shifts In the Atmosphere" to occupy territory until Christ returns. We do this by creating an environment for men to grow and be more effective with their families, in their spiritual walk, work, and communities.

Our "Man-2-Men" small group meetings are fueled through bible teaching designed for men, prayer, open dialogue, corporate accountability, and restoration. Furthermore, we mentor and empower our young men and assist them in developing Godly character, excel academically and to set and achieve measurable, realistic and attainable goals. The men of Gateway Ministries, with the help of the Lord, shall with all due diligence seek to spiritually equip men in our church and community. We desire to instill in all men the knowledge and wisdom God has blessed us with. We will serve as examples through our faithful attendance, full cooperation, and participation in all activities and events.

Youth Director |
Youth MinistryGateway Ministries provide children with a solid foundation in the Word of God that is built for all age levels with the same emphasis as adults. Our goal is to equip our youth to go forth in the world as leaders, thoroughly established in the Word of God. We have a variety of exciting activities and programs to help our youth maximize their God-given gifts and talents. We believe the greatest opportunity to shape the church starts with sculpting and showcasing young adults and youth to disciple this generation. While we maintain our traditional values, we understand that there is a legitimate church evolving that does not look like us.
