Gateway Church

A Covenant Community

‘Featured’

cuba

Since 2000, Gateway Church has been connected to the church in Cuba through Bishop Samuel Ramos and his network of churches throughout the island.  God has blessed our relationship with Bishop Ramos and the churches in Cuba.  Through the years Pastor Cooper and several other men from our church have taken short term mission trips to encourage the church that is growing in the midst of persecution.  One of the greatest areas that God has challenged Gateway Church to make an impact in Cuba is by ministering to and encouraging the pastors that labor so faithfully there.  In 2000, God challenged our body to build a house for one of the pastors in Cuba.  Since then we have committed to financially support several pastors.  We can support a pastor for only $30 a month.  This gift enables the continuing revival to have faithful laborers in the harvest.  We ask that you consider committing to all or even part of the monthly support for a pastor.  If you can’t provide monthly support, perhaps you could provide a one-time offering that is designated for the church in Cuba.  You can either place your financial gift in the offering on any Sunday morning, or you can bring or mail it to the church office at 502 S. Jackson St. Morristown, TN 37814.  All offerings intended to support the pastors in Cuba should be clearly marked as such.

omarGateway Church has added a Sunday afternoon service which meets at 6:30 PM. This service incorporates spanish and english worship. The sermons will be given in spanish as well as english.

One purpose for this new meeting is to reach out to the growing hispanic community in the Lakeway Area.  For too long the most segregated day of the week has been Sunday.  We believe that the Body of Christ is composed of every nation, tribe, and tongue.  Our vision is to incorporate the diversity of the people of this region so that we stand together bearing witness to the love of Christ.  We know that in a broken world only the church can model reconciliation.

Pastor Omar Perez is giving oversight to this time of worship. Pastor Omar is the Internatiional Pastor at Gateway Church.  God has recently added he and his wife, Andria to our congregation.  Omar is a seasoned minister who established a large, nationwide youth ministry in Cuba before coming to the United States.

For more information regarding this service, feel free to contact the church office.
