Member Care
Gateway has a small membership which is on a steady growth cycle. Because
of this size it is easy to become acquainted quickly in the congregation.
Every member counts and is tracked with a computer attendance record.
Visitors who live in Colorado Springs are offered opportunities to join the
church through two “Inquirer’s classes” during the year. People are given
plenty of time to become knowledgeable about the practices of the church and
even become involved in the activities before making a commitment to join.
There is a sense of
community with the members that offers help when needed and concern of
problems that are voiced. A volunteer staff member lets people know when
they are missed on Sunday morning. Gateway has a prayer chain with a team
of “Shepherds” to look after the “flock.” The Deacons follow up on the
recovery of those with medical issues. The homebound are visited regularly
and may receive sermon tapes, if desired. We are a Christian family that
strives to lead Christian lives with care and love for one another.
