Gateway Charter

Leading The Church

Jesus is the Head of the Church. In all things at Gateway, we seek his leadership. For our small part of the Church, we follow Christ’s lead by:

Staying centered around the mission of God:
  • redeeming all things in Christ (Col. 1:15-20)
Following his design for the Church
  • one body, many parts (1 Cor 12)
Receiving the gifting of the Spirit
  • all are called and filled to serve (Eph 4:7)
Holding to the recognition that we still struggle with sin and human frailty
  • we see through the glass darkly (1 Cor. 13)
Seeking to serve and love
  • as he first served and loved us (Phil 2)

Gateway Identity

We are a servant community, united with Christ, pursuing redemption in His world.
