Co-Pastors Pat & Trudy Hankins invite you to look around and get to know us  

How many times have you thought about going to church and then thought what good is it going to do? Well that is a question we ask ourselves each and every day as the Pastors of Gateway. Can I tell you that "going to church" does as much for your life and soul as going to the gym or the grocery store. Too many times people associate "church" with a building at a certain address. At Gateway, the church is the living, breathing body of Christ here to serve our community as Jesus would serve our community. Whether it be through community service, through meeting the needs of our community families, Gateway is here for you. If you want to be challenged to live a godly life, challenged to be a servant to those around you, challenged to grow closer to GOD in your personal relationship, and challenged to fulfil GOD'S call on your life then Gateway is the fellowship for you. And if you want to "play" church, then we probably aren't for you.

Our new facility not only hosts our church but our childcare facility, The Gate Learning Center, as well.

We pray that God will minister to you on a personal level as you read the following Daily Devotion...



No Other God

Read Exodus 32:1 through 34:35

“Wow! I wish I could sing like her.” Kelsy beamed as she yelled her dreams to her mom standing next to her. They’d managed to snag front row tickets to see a tween rocker in concert. The music blared and lights danced rhythmically, enhancing the fantasy. It was going perfectly until the scantily clad male dancers joined the starlet on stage.

Kelsey’s face mirrored the shock her mom felt, whose cheeks flushed first with embarrassment, then with anger. In an instant, the teen idol turned two fans cold and left an image carved in their hearts that would take much time to fade.

Idols come in many forms—people and things.

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go down, because your people... have become corrupt. They have been quick to turn away from what I commanded them and have made themselves an idol cast in the shape of a calf” (Exodus 32:7,8).

Anything can quickly take the place of God if we are not careful. But before God takes steps to discipline us, we can search our hearts for any idols we have set up. Then we can repent and rededicate our lives to the Lord.

Prayer for Today: Lord, help me give my heart to You alone.

Quicklook: Exodus 32:7–14
