At Gateway, we believe that giving is primarily an act of worship. Because God first loved us, we enjoy all of the ways of loving him in return, including giving. It allows us to join together in building God's Kingdom in ways we could not do as individuals. In giving, we also declare our trust in God to care for our needs and can diminish the influence of materialism in our hearts. If God leads you to support the ministries of Gateway Church financially, you can do so at any of our weekend worship services or through online giving.
On September 1, our online giving changed from Vanco to realm. Follow the directions below for one-time or recurring online giving. Important! Recurring gifts on your Vanco account will continue to process through Sept. 25 unless canceled. The Vanco giving platform will be disabled on September 25, 2023.
