Subscribe to the Gateway PodcastIs Gateway Church “Charismatic”?
Strictly speaking, Gateway Church is not a “Charismatic” church. We do believe that the Holy Spirit has a powerful impact on our lives, primarily to form us into the image of Jesus Christ. We do not, however, practice “speaking in tongues” during our assemblies. It is important to note that we do not consider personal belief or practice in this area to be a formal test of Christian fellowship. We have always had members in our body with diverse views and practices in this area. While those who desire a consistent practice of the Charismatic gifts may not find fulfillment in our assemblies, we in no way want to make those who consider themselves to be “Charismatic” to feel unwelcome in our midst.
