Samaritan’s Purse has changed the lives of children through Operation Christmas Child since 1993. Every year, generous people across the world lovingly pack shoe boxes with gifts – simple, yet powerful messages of God’s unconditional love.And when a child opens a shoe box, they’re opening more than a present lovingly prepared just for them. They’re opening up their community to a world of life-changing opportunities.

THE ESSENTIALS WE BELIEVEABOUT GOD - God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The three are co-equal and are one in God.ABOUT THE BIBLE - The Bible is God's Word to us. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth without any mixture of error.ABOUT SALVATION - Salvation is God's free gift to us, but we must accept it. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ, as God's offer of forgiveness, can anyone be saved from sin's penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith, we are saved.ABOUT ETERNITY - Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith. People are created to exist forever...either eternally with God or eternally separated from God. Heaven and hell are real places of eternal existence.
It's a new season and God is doing a new thing! Our purpose and mission here at Gateway is to bring people of all ages and all backgrounds to a constant growing relationship with Jesus Christ. This is done by creating environments that encourage people to yearn for, hunger and crave a deeper, more passionate relationship with Him. "For my determined purpose is that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately aquainted with Him]" Philippians 3:10a
We're here for you!
