Ministries

Kids at the Gate

Nursery & Toddler Care for newborn to 3 years-old

Our nursery and toddler rooms provide a warm and caring environment where each child is loved and feels secure and safe. Our Nursery room is open for the entire service on Sunday mornings and from 6:00pm-7:30pm Wednesday nights. 

Preschool for 3 and 4 year-olds

The children in this ministry will be taught how to know Jesus and how to be like Jesus through Bible stories, crafts, kid’s videos, and through prayer. The children in this class will become familiar with how to have a relationship with Jesus, how to share their faith, and how to pray for those around them. Three and four-year-olds attend worship in the sanctuary with their families. Following worship, they are dismissed for children's church on both Sunday morning and Wednesday nights. 

Elementary ages 1st through 5th grade

The children in this ministry will be taught from the Bible, how to be best friends with Jesus, how to prophesy, how to be used by God to do miracles, how to share their faith, and how to know Holy Spirit and be filled with Him. “Fun” is also a huge priority in this ministry! All of these virtues will be taught and modeled to the children by their adult teachers. Elementary age children attend worship in the sanctuary with their families. Following worship, they are dismissed for children's church on both Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights.

Youth at the Gate

Youth at the Gate is the ministry for 6th-12th graders at The Gate. Just as the rest of The Gate, We are a welcoming family equipping world changers through spirit-led worship, Biblical teaching, and persistent prayer. What that means for youth comes in many forms from Sunday morning fellowship to Wednesday night worship, teachings, and something we call night missions. We long to give youth a place to not only learn but to also practice what they learn in real-life scenarios that test them and mature them in their walk with Christ. Come join us!

Sunday Mornings 9:15am-10:00am
Wednesday Nights 6:00pm-8:00pm

Men at the Gate

The goal in this season is to apply consistent ways to build upon intimacy in our relationship with the Father. Here are the anchoring principles of Men at the Gate: Have Fun. Grow in the Word. Build greater and lasting relationships. Intimacy with the Father. Identity. Who am I, not what I do. Not letting our work define us. A heart turned towards the Father. Finding our place in the Kingdom. Strong family relationships. Freedom from addictions. Steadfast even in tough times. Stand by our convictions.

Thursday Nights at 7pm

Women at the Gate

The Women’s Ministry seeks to create times, atmosphere, and events that nurture fellowship, friendship, and support. We seek to hear God and grow closer to Him through intentional gatherings and retreats. We value the gifting of each woman and pray that as each one gets involved in spiritually enriching times, Jesus would reveal to them how very much they are loved.

Gate Worship

We are all about spirit-led worship at the Gate. That means that our worship is anchored in intimacy with the Father and released in the gifting He created in us. It’s not about performance it’s about a relationship! We are a house that loves to worship and encounter Holy Spirit. If you have a passion to lead worship, sing or play an instrument we would love to connect with you.
