Leadership

Gateway is led by the Holy Spirit to follow God in His Mission. As a local church, this is facilitated by both Pastors and Volunteer Leaders. Pastors are trained, called and equipped to lead a local church as their full-time vocation. Elected Volunteer Leaders are what we call 'Elders' and 'Deacons'. Elders are called to help pastor the church by using their time and energy to pray for the church, meet and pray with people in need, and provide spiritual support to the church. Deacons likewise volunteer to lead the church through the practical facilitation of Gateway's various ministries. As a Leadership Team, Pastors, Elders and Deacons do their best to care for anyone who comes their way, and help see that God's Mission is being done through Gateway.
