Welcome Members, Guests, and Community,
It is so great to be able to open our doors once again and we are looking forward to seeing everyone. There are a number of State and County regulations that we must adhere to as well as some safety practices we have put into place to ensure the well-being of our attendees. Please review the procedures listed below before attending your first service:
We are currently open for live service Sunday at 10am.
TO RESERVE A SPOT
As we must limit the number of attendees, we will be using a reservation system to ensure we are in compliance. Please see the button on the home page to reserve your spot for Sunday Services. We will be sending an email from the church at the beginning of each week so that you can reserve your spot as desired. If you have not signed up to receive emails and texts from the church, please click here to sign up via Flocknote.
PREVENTING COVID 19
PROCEDURES AT GATEWAY CHRISTIAN CHURCH
We covet your patience and cooperation during this time. We are all of the same mindset that we would like to operate just as we did before the stay in place order. We honor our Lord by obeying the regulations of our government and reflect God’s love by protecting the safety of our beloved congregation.
These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye may have peace. In the world ye will have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:33
