The Heartbeat of Gateway

Faith that changes us.

We believe God is still at work in people's lives. Through His Word, the Holy Spirit, prayer, worship, and one another, we're challenged to grow—not just to hear the truth, but to live it.

We build each other up, care for the whole person and the whole family, and carry our faith beyond Sunday into our homes, workplaces, and communities.

God first. Faith lived out. People built up.

WHO WE ARE

A place to worship, grow, serve, and belong.

Gateway Family Worship & Outreach is a community church in a rural setting between Bay City and Midland. We're a church made up of people of all ages and walks of life who want to know Jesus, grow together, and live out our faith in a way that makes a difference.

At the heart of Gateway is a commitment to the authority and reliability of Scripture, the person and power of the Holy Spirit, and the priority of prayer. Through worship, discipleship, outreach, and missions, we want to help people grow in their faith, find their place, and experience what it means to be part of a church family.
