The session will take place on Dec. 24 from 4 to 5:30 p.m. for interested adults and families. Ideal for families preparing for Christmas Eve, the page unveiled.

Gateway Christian Church

Gateway Christian Church aims to follow God's vision for Christians and churches which is to be disciples who make disciples quoting Matthew 28:18-20 in which Christ said as God granted him authority in both heaven and earth: "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

As a church family, we want to reflect Jesus Christ's grace and truth in the world. Knowing Christ and making Christ known is what it means to be a disciple. It's about loving someone and guiding them to Jesus so that they might love and lead others to Jesus as well, as per the mission page.

The church aims to assist people in taking their initial steps toward following God and His Son, Jesus Christ. Gateway's prayer is to help Christians take their next step to Live for Christ, Grow in Christ, Serve like Christ, and Make Christ Known, no matter what stage of life they are in or what their background is, the site revealed.
