Visiting Gateway?

We meet at Mercer Middle School at 10:00am every Sunday morning. The Worship Service is in the Auditorium.

Children

Babies-5th grade are divided up by ages and or grades and make up our Children's Ministry we call KidzTown!  These classes meet at the same time our main worship service takes place.  BABIES are cared for in a quiet environmnet while ONES and TWOS have a simple Bible lesson, snack and play with age appropriate toys.  THREES, FOURS, FIVES-KINDERGARTEN have fun singing songs and learning Bible stories.  Making crafts, snack and playing games all add up for a great morning for our preschoolers.  ELEMENTARY kids (1st-5th grades) get to expend their energy as they have fun participating in activities designed just for them.  In a large group setting they learn Bible stories, Biblical principles and truths.  Worship, object lessons, craft and games add to the high energy morning!  After the large group time, kids divide by grades into small groups led by adult Small Group Leaders, where they interact in a smaller setting with the days' lesson.  The first Sunday of the month Elementary kids are in the main worship service with their parents.

All our younger classes have a Lead Teacher and Assistant(s) and our Elementary kids are in one big open space with an adult Small Group Leader for each grade.  

Youth (Middle School and High School)

Youth meet with us in the auditorium most Sundays for the first part of our worship time and then Middle School and High School go to respective classrooms for teaching.

Worship

We are casual in feel and style. Come as you are.

Each service lasts for about one hour and twenty minutes. We usually begin with a time of singing. You can feel free to join in or just listen. Our singing time is followed by a sermon from our pastor as he relates the Bible to our everyday lives.
