    ...to our church group!

    Thanks for joining us online! This new tool will help us continue pursuing our mission as a church: making disciples who hear, love, and obey Jesus.


    Get Oriented

    You can find our Gateway Chapel group anytime by going to Faithlife.com, logging in, and selecting our church group in the left-hand sidebar. Once you’re in the group, there are three main sections:


    On the left, use the Community navigation panel to access the different parts of our church group. You can view our calendar, access content, Bible study, and more!


    In the middle, you can read recent news, prayer requests, and more. In the future, you may see posts about meal trains for families in need, updates on events, or when to bring a coat because the furnace at the building went out (hopefully that won't happen again!).


    Important Posting Rules!!


    1. All posts will be reviewed and removed if inappropriate. This isn't a place to share your political opinions, your take on pop-culture, or pictures of your tropical vacation. Let's keep this about Jesus and following him together!
    2. Items posted for sale will also be reviewed and removed if needed. Please don't sell your essential oils here!


    The right panel holds important group information, like reading plans, prayer lists, and other links.


    As we get more comfortable using this tool, things may change and adjust based on how we can best use the software.


    Get the App!

    You can access our group from your mobile device with the Faithlife app! Search for "Faithlife" in your App Store.


    Manage Notifications

    Getting too many emails? If you want less notifications from Faithlife, you can go to the Community panel on the left and select Notification Preferences. From there, you'll find a dropdown menu that can dial back notifications from "Balanced" all the way down to "None."


    Again, this is a tool to help us keep the main thing the main thing: it's all about Jesus! Lord willing, we can use this to point each other to Him.


    Enjoy!

    Cadence Conference

    Gene is at a Cadence conference and he asks for prayer.


    Thanks for praying for us at the conference. There are three of us on the Pastoral Care Team: Mike Paterson, Andrea Haddock and myself. We have 300 missionaries with their families and the HQ staff all coming together at Green Lake, WI for our conference. Many of our people have been through even more stressful and difficult circumstances overseas than we have had because of the pandemic. Many of them are still in distress, with depression, anxiety and uncertainty about the future the leading causes of distress.


    • Pray that we might listen well, ask the right questions that help people open up and understand what is going on inside of them, and then help them move toward trusting the Lord more deeply with their circumstances.
    • Of course our health, energy and mental acuity are important too, so we ask the Lord for energy for this intense week.
    • I will speak on a panel discussion and I host one of our general sessions, too.

      Pray for Jarrod and Katcha in the Czech Republic

      • Protection for their family.
      • That Katcha can finish the school year strong at Christian international school in Prague.
      • That there would be strong Christian growth in the Bible Study Fellowship that Katcha leads.
      • For Jarrod to finish the school year strong teaching English, basic theology and counseling at ETS (Evangelical Theological Seminary) in Prague.
      • That the outreach English Camps are fruitful.
      • That Jarrod’s transition from teaching into ministry with a local church would be good.
      • That Jarrod can learn Czech quickly.
      • Strength and a positive witness to others through our family
      • That our children will be lights in a dark place.
