Co-Pastors Pat & Trudy Hankins invite you to look around and get to know us

How many times have you thought about going to church and then thought what good is it going to do? Well that is a question we ask ourselves each and every day as the Pastors of Gateway. Can I tell you that "going to church" does as much for your life and soul as going to the gym or the grocery store. Too many times people associate "church" with a building at a certain address. At Gateway, the church is the living, breathing body of Christ here to serve our community as Jesus would serve our community. Whether it be through community service, through meeting the needs of our community families, Gateway is here for you. If you want to be challenged to live a godly life, challenged to be a servant to those around you, challenged to grow closer to GOD in your personal relationship, and challenged to fulfil GOD'S call on your life then Gateway is the fellowship for you. And if you want to "play" church, then we probably aren't for you.

Our new facility not only hosts our church but our childcare facility, The Gate Learning Center, as well.

Theme: I Believe in Communion

Remembering the Past

Read Exodus 12:14–20

When you look at your calendar, you’ll notice that throughout the year certain days have been set aside to commemorate or call to remembrance specific events or people.

This is a day you are to commemorate; for the generations to come you shall celebrate it as a festival to the Lord—a lasting ordinance (Exodus 12:14).

The instructions in this chapter were given the night before Israel was delivered from Egyptian bondage. A specific time was to be set aside each year to commemorate this momentous event. They were to share this testimony with their children and grandchildren (Exodus 12:26,27).

When we take part in Communion, we look back and remember the wonderful deliverance provided for us by Christ at Calvary. “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God” (2Corinthians 5:21). Communion is a perpetual reminder to us of the broken body and shed blood of our Savior.

How long has it been since you shared the testimony of your deliverance from sin? Why not do that today.

Prayer Suggestion: Lord, thank You for Your great sacrifice.
