Gateway Family,

We will be moving to a summer schedule this weekend! 9:00AM + 11:00AM

We were able to add chairs in the sanctuary, so please keep inviting people to come encounter Jesus.

As leaders, we want to make sure we are stewarding what God places in our hands. Part of that is stewarding our volunteer base. With so many traveling during the summer months, we are able to do two services and still be effective in mission.

Thank you for being a church that cares about making room for others. We don’t exist just for ourselves, but to be a place for people to belong, believe, and see the salvation of the LORD. You guys do a great job of staying on mission. I believe we are entering our most fruitful season as a church.

As Fall approaches, and need the extra space, we will revisit service times that will be more effective in both making room for people and the LORD. We do not want to be a church that just rushes through our worship experiences, but we intentionally make room for moments with the LORD, while at the same time ensuring that we are making room for our neighbors.

Remember, we are also in the initial stages of building out the larger sanctuary. This is something we need as a church, and I believe the LORD is going to send the provision for this next step.

This is the tension of being a growing church. It means trying new things, and adjusting as you go. It’s exciting to have the challenges that come with effective mission. You guys make that possible by your commitment to the shared vision and each other. I am so honored to be your pastor!

Let’s lean in like never before!

Love you all!

Pastor Jason D.
