Missions is the heartbeat of God.  Without someone telling others the Gospel message, we never would have accepted Christ as our Saviour.  Before Christ left the earth, He gave us one last prayer request.  This request was to pray for more labourers to enter the harvest field.  He also left one final command which was to go and be a witness to every creature of the world.

Based on these things, Gateway Baptist Church has a two fold plan for our mission's program.  First, we are actively praying that God would call someone from among us to go forth and plant churches where the Gospel is not actively preached.  To help with this goal, our church will take periodic mission's trips to see the need in other parts of the world. Second, we are directly involved in proclaiming the Gospel to the world.  We do this through a church wide letterboxing and visitation program and through supporting church planting missionaries or those helping in church planting.  Currently, our church supports the Jackson family in the Philippines, the Evans Family in Japan, and the Crocket Family in Romania.

FOUND: The Fountain of Youth

Through out all of time, man has sought for a way to beat death.  They have longed for eternal life.  Explorers have searched for the "fountains of youth".  Doctors have tried to develop drugs and treatments to "prevent aging" and prolong life.  Although doctors have been somewhat successful with these treatments and drugs, one soon realizes that everyone has an appointment with death.  They find the Bible very true when it says in Psalms 90:10 that the average life span is 70 to 80 years.   After these 70 to 80 years, what happens to us?

What Makes Gateway So Different?

Today, one is overloaded with different churches all claiming to be the only one or the best one.  With every passing church experience, one can get very discouraged with all the man-made rules and religions out there. 

Well, guess what?  At Gateway, we are sick of all that too!  When you visit Gateway, you will not find a group of religious people following man-made rules to earn heaven!  You will find common people who have discovered that a personal relationship with God makes all the difference!
