Pastor Aaron Dyck came to Gateway in 2010, and was called as the Lead Pastor in 2013. Aaron grew up in Abbotsford BC. He and his wife, Skye have three amazing children, and are excited to be part of the incredible ministry team at Gateway. Believing that every Christian is called to do the work of the ministry, Aaron’s passion is seeing YOU healed up, filled up, and fired up to reach out to those around you, how and where God has wired you and placed you. The bible calls this “equipping the saints for the work of the ministry,” and its a big part of Pastor Aaron’s developing ministry at Gateway.
