WHO WE ARE
We are an evangelical, multi-generational church that believes in the positive life change experienced through a dynamic relationship with Jesus. Our passion is to help people live authentic, Christ-centered lives both inside and outside the church!
A team of our high schoolers along with leaders are spending the week at Gleanings for the Hungry. Please keep them in prayer as they work hard in the heat to process peaches gleaned from fields. The dried peaches are sent out to the needy both in the US and overseas. 🍑 God always uses this time to transform hearts in a deeper way.
Wonderful...my sister works with a program called Mitzvah Meals that uses nearly expired food from Trader Joes, etc. They put things together and cook meals that are distributed to several locations every Sunday. I think it is soooo good.
Doing good work.

Baptism Sunday is coming up Sunday, August 12. If you've been baptized, you know taking this step of faith is a simple yet powerful declaration that you are a follower of Christ. And for those of us who get to watch a baptism, it is so joyful and encouraging. If you want to be baptized, let us know!
“I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1-2. May we lift our eyes to the Lord our Maker, and know he is our Help. Thank you God for creating such beauty right here in Scott’s Valley.

He is The God of this City too

Happy Birthday Josh! We love you and your tremendous heart for middle and high schoolers at GateWay.
Let your roots grow down into Him, and let your lives be built on Him.

According to these verses, what is the result of being rooted in Christ?

Women’s Worship Bonfire was a blast. Sandrina and team, thanks for going all out for us to have fun times away together in the Lord’s presence. Emily & team thanks for leading us in worship!
Like bonfires, worship, s’mores and fun, ask about our upcoming women’s camping trip!
Wow, the bottles we passed out on Sunday are being returned already, full of donations for Pregnancy Resource Center (PRC)! A few of us visited PRC a while back and we were so impressed with their caring, professional staff, inviting office, donation center full of supplies for baby and mom, ultrasound room where moms hear babies heartbeat for the first time, and the resale store.
Did you know they also visit all our public schools and give talks about abstinence education? PRC provides FREE medical care, pregnancy tests, ultrasound, counseling, parenting classes, material assistance, housing, & post-abortion recovery.
We will have more bottles available this Sunday if you'd still like one. Tax deductible receipts are available if you let us know you'd like one when you turn in your donation.

If you brought home a PRC bottle, bring it back filled with change (or a check!) Sunday morning, or during the week to the office. We'll be happy to give you a tax deductible receipt if you let us know you'd like one.
Look who just stopped by the office to say goodbye - Dave & Mary Dixon. We will miss you so much! Thanks for your beautiful singing, faithful & creative work in the office, leading life groups, heating the baptism tank, hospitality, and so much more. Happy and blessed travels to you!
We pray God’s richest blessings over your new chapter,🙏❤️
Godspeed...🌹🙏
I waited on Sunday to say goodbye and somehow didn’t see them! Farewell Dixon’s!!! Missing you already!
They'll be missed! <3

Ladies, this Friday come down to Seabright Beach for our Worship Bonfire 5:30-7:30pm.
"He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart." Psalm 91:4. In his sermon Sunday, Fred mentioned this scripture, which describes God's great care, compassion, and protection for us. Hope you all had a great Mother's Day.
Looks like our Youth Pastor Nate is up for an adventure and is taking us along! Seriously, thank you Nate for your obvious sold out heart for God, your love for middle & high school youth, and showing us how to have fun!
Josh Brady is one of our awesome Youth Ministry Interns at GateWay. He had the honor of sharing a message at Baymonte Christian School during their middle school chapel. He did a great job and used some interesting teaching aids for his message including a fishing pole, push ups, running, a gift, and some money. Hmm, wonder what his message was about? You'll have to ask him! Our kids are blessed to have godly examples pouring truth into their lives every week!
Have a middle or high school student or know one who would grow in a Christ centered environment while having a blast? Here's a link to our youth ministry page, along with meeting times and activities:

Aren't we blessed to live in such a beautiful place? "Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you. " Jeremiah 32:17 Thank you Lord for the beauty you create, for your great power, and that NOTHING is too hard for you! Amen!
Now this will definitely make you giggle. What a great example of being excited about baptism! Did you know we are offering baptisms every Sunday during the month of May? If you're a believer who hasn't been baptized, "jump in" this month!

Anyone been thinking about baptism? If baptism keeps coming to your mind, it just may be the urging of the Holy Spirit. Baptism symbolizes our death and new life in Christ. It's pretty awesome to watch and encourages us all in our faith. If this speaks to you, bring your bathing suit to church and we'll be ready for you with a t-shirt, shorts, towels, and a warm baptism tank. Every Sunday in May we offer baptisms. 💦
