2024-'25 Adult Life Groups

2024-'25 Adult Life Groups

  • Gateway Community Church (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

We believe you can't do life alone. Community is an essential and biblical part of Christianity. When we gather together to worship, we only scratch the surface of true community. Gateway's Life Groups allow you to take the next step, connect with other Christ-followers, and truly experience "life together."

Most of our groups meet at church throughout the week during the public school academic year (typically September through May, with a break for the Christmas holidays).  In these environments (usually lasting 60-90 minutes), expect to grow together and leave each meeting challenged and encouraged in your walk with Christ.

Sep

Believer's Baptism

Baptism doesn’t make you a Christian, but that doesn’t mean it’s unimportant! Just as a wedding ring is a visible and public symbol of your commitment to your spouse, baptism is a visual and public symbol of your commitment to Jesus Christ.
 
As we understand the Scriptures, baptism is the first act of obedience for those who’ve given their lives to Christ. It’s also a great time of celebration at Gateway as we celebrate your new life in Jesus!

Africa Mission Trip Interest Meeting

We're excited about our new mission partner, Harvesters International—so excited, in fact, that we're putting together a group to visit the work ourselves in January 2025!

On Thursday evening, July 11, Gateway will host an interest meeting for any of our Gateway folks who might want more information about joining us on the trip. Doug Radford, Executive Director of Harvesters, will share general information about their work around the world and specific information about the work in Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Uganda (where we will take our trip). He'll also answer any questions you may have about the trip!

The trip is open to those in high school and above, but any participants in high school and/or under age 18 at the beginning of the trip must be accompanied by a parent/guardian. The trip dates are still being nailed down, but we can tell you that it will be close to the end of January and the beginning of February. Trip costs generally run between $3.5-$4K (excluding passport and immunization costs). Group and individual fundraising is a definite option!

So that we'll know how many to prepare for, registration is highly encouraged. Click here to register today!
