Raising up kids who know God and look like Jesus

Our ministries focus on building relationship with friends and mentors, and most importantly, with God. We believe there is as much of God available to kids as there is available to adults and that is reflected in our ministries. We engage with God through times of prayer, worship, understanding His Word, and of course, a ton of fun! Whatever your child's age, you can be sure they will find a home in the Gateway Family!

After receiving name and guardian tags, the kids can join the main service for the first 3 worship songs. A slide will be displayed on the screen to indicate when the kids are dismissed to their classes.  

Please find more information about our classes and their locations below:
