Our DNA

As we journey together as a church family, our fundamental goal is to help people to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ that is truly makes a difference in who they are and the way they are able to live their lives.

About 3 years ago we began to talk about the DNA of Jesus. It has become our way of talking age old truths and putting them in a new and familiar language that we can all understand in the same way. As we looked at Jesus, we saw that there were some common threads woven into everything He did.

• He was always Delighting in His Father
• He deliberately developed Nurturing Relationships
• He was consistently Acting on a Mission

As we talk about Jesus’ DNA, it’s our desire to help one another get to know Jesus better so that our DNA, what defines who we are, can transformed to look like His.

This works itself out in a wide variety of ways at Gateway but as we journey together towards this goal, there are some common themes.

• Family ... supporting the family is essential as it’s within the family that faith is most effectively shared
• Multiplication ... we want to see people transformed but also become catalysts for transformation
• Unity ... in our diversity, we need to work together towards a common goal
• Creativity ... we celebrate the variety of ways that God has equipped us to worship and serve Him

We are also a part of the Christian & Missionary Alliance of Canada. For more information about what our denomination believes and is doing, visit the CMA Website.
