Hey kids!👋
Get ready for an awesome adventure at Rainforest Falls!

Step through the mist into a jungle full of rushing waterfalls, giant trees, and amazing animals all around 🐒🦜🌴. This isn’t just about fun (although there will be LOTS of that!)—it’s about discovering who God is and how much He loves you.

All week long, you’ll learn what it means to be close to God, to trust Him, and to know that He is your safe place no matter what. Whether life feels calm or a little stormy, God is always with you. 💚

There will be games, music, stories, and time with friends—so invite someone to come with you!

✨ We can’t wait to see you there—get ready for an unforgettable week!

TPX Camp is coming, and we’re heading to Encounter Cove for a week that’s going to be unforgettable.

This isn’t just a trip—it’s an opportunity to step away from the noise and lean into what really matters. Time in the Word. Real conversations. Real friendships. And space to encounter God in a deeper way.

We’ll laugh, we’ll hang out, we’ll make memories—but more than anything, we’ll grow. Together.

Don’t miss what God might do in your life through this.

Invite a friend and sign up on the church app!

🎓 Senior Sunday — May 31st 🎓

This is such a special time in the life of our church as we celebrate our seniors and the journey God has brought them through.

As they prepare to step into this next chapter, we are reminded that their story is not ending—it’s just beginning. God has gone before them, and He will continue to lead, guide, and sustain them every step of the way.

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord… plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” — Jeremiah 29:11

We want to honor and pray over each of our seniors as they take this next step in faith. 🙌

If you have a senior and would like them to be part of Senior Sunday, please reach out to the church office so we can include them in this special celebration.

Let’s come together as a church family to lift these students up in prayer—asking the Lord to strengthen their faith, direct their paths, and use them for His glory in the days ahead.

We’re pressing deeper into fasting in Abide.

Fasting is one of the most neglected—and most powerful—disciplines in the Christian life.
It’s not about punishment or performance—it’s about choosing to set something aside and make space to seek God more fully—to depend on Him more deeply.

“When you fast…” — Matthew 6:16
Not if—but when.

Together, we’ll continue learning what it means to deny ourselves, quiet the noise, and draw near to Him.

📅 Sundays at 8:30 AM

💙 Celebrate Recovery 💙
⏰ Tonight at 6:30 PM at the Gateway Church Office

Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered space where healing begins through God’s grace, truth, and community. If you’re carrying hurts, hang-ups, or habits, you don’t have to walk through them alone. Come as you are and take a step toward hope and freedom in Christ. 🤍
