OUR CULTURE
WHAT TO EXPECT
 
DRESS CODE: 
Wear whatever you feel comfortable coming to church in.  Some people are blue jeans and t-shirts, some are suit and tie…it’s really up to you.
 
SERVICE:
Our weekend services consist of three main things: Music, Message and Ministry. 
We like to worship God through music, receive a practical yet impactful message from one of our speakers, and provide a time where we pray for any needs people may have.
There is also a time for giving, but that’s for our regular attenders, guests are not asked to give.
 
KIDS:
We have safe, clean and fun kids facilities.  Our programs are age appropriate and designed to teach kids the word of God in a way they can live it out.
 
OUR BELIEFS

HOLY BIBLE

The Holy Bible, and only the Bible, is the authoritative Word of God. It alone is the final authority in determining all doctrinal truths. In its original writing, it is inspired, infallible and inerrant (II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:20-21; Proverbs 30:5; Romans 16:25-26).

TRINITY

There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These three are coequal and co-eternal (I John 5:7; Genesis 1:26; Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; Luke 1:35; Isaiah 9:6; Hebrews 3:7-11).
 

JESUS CHRIST

Jesus Christ is God the Son, the second person of the Trinity. On earth, Jesus was 100% God and 100% man. He is the only man ever to have lived a sinless life. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died on the cross for mankind and thus, atoned for our sins through the shedding of His blood. He rose from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will return again in power and glory. (John 1:1,14, 20:28; I Timothy 3:16; Isaiah 9:6; Philippians 2:5-6; I Timothy 2:5).

 

 

COMPASSION
Our GFC churches give 10% of their monthly tithes and offerings toward supporting our Compassion partners.  These partners are ministries and missions here at home and around the globe.  Some of our compassion money has also been used to support and help launch the different GFC campuses.  Here is a sample of some of the partners that are supported by Gateway Family Network:
