Gateway Kids
Check-in
In order to maintain proper child-to-volunteer ratios, we are requiring parents/guardians to check in their children prior to attending Gateway Kids Classes. When you arrive, please visit the Kids Check-In Table, where a volunteer will assist you, providing name tags and security tags for pick-up.
Activity packets
Activity packets and clipboards are available for students during the service when we have “Family Style” Gatherings on the first Sunday of each month.
During the service
Liturgy
Each week, we follow an order of service that includes times of worship, prayer, confession & assurance, offering, and teaching. Readings and song lyrics are projected in the space and updated on our website each week to make it easy to follow along.
Offering
While we do not pass an offering plate, we participate in reading a generosity liturgy during the service. We encourage people to give online should they feel led. This can be done by texting any dollar amount to 8-4321 or through our mobile app. For more information about giving online, please visit this page. If you prefer not to give online, checks can be mailed to our office or handed directly to Kate, our Office Manager, on Sunday Mornings.
Online gatherings
Livestream video of our Sunday gatherings begin at 10am and a chat is available during the service.
