How does a person become a member of the Gateway Church family?

« Back to FAQs

There are four important things that we ask each person becoming a part of this church family to do:

  1. Attend the Foundations Class offered monthly to learn more about Gateway Church
  2. Be or become a baptized believer in Christ and commit to a lifetime of personal spiritual growth.
  3. Share in our church family through participation in a house church. We recommend trying one near your home.
  4. Have a discussion with one of our shepherds to let them know of your commitment to this church family.

It is our desire to support, encourage, and shepherd each person at Gateway Church. The informal discussion with our shepherds about your desire to commit to this church family will help them know your history as a believer, current needs, and goals for serving in the body. After this visit, each person desiring to be a member of the Gateway Church family can be acknowledged and prayed over in our assembly.

We will gladly accept any seeker to our assemblies, but everyone desiring to become a member of our body, and to be shepherded by our elders, is asked to commit to active participation in one of the house churches of Gateway Church.
