Learn about Gateway membership

Membership at Gateway

Membership at Gateway is not simply adding your name to a roster; it’s about connecting with the people and the vision of the church. At the same time, we recognize the practical need for a formal roll of our committed individuals, who we call “members.” 


The two Connect Classes are required for membership.


Gateway’s charter regarding the requirements of membership reads:

 

“To become a member in the Church, a person must be a professing believer in Jesus Christ who gives evidence of regeneration, who has been baptized in obedience to Christ following his or her profession of faith, has completed a membership course, and is at least eighteen (18) years of age. Each prospective member must agree to submit to the governance and discipline of the Church and to the teaching of Scripture as expressed in Our Beliefs Statement, and must agree to endeavor to keep the commitments expressed in the Membership Covenant.”
