EFCA GATEWAY Theological Institute

EFCA GATEWAY Theological Institute GATEWAY has created a portable and scalable training model that is giving many people training that will help them serve their community in new way.

GATEWAY values
Life-long learning - One of EFCA GATEWAY’s core values is life-long learning. EFCA GATEWAY seeks to instill a passion and value for learning throughout all stages of life. Shared resources - EFCA GATEWAY partners with local churches to host the courses and with EFCA ordained pastors to facilitate the classes. Kingdom-minded - While EFCA GATEWAY is a ministry of the EFCA, we also desire to be a blessing to the broader evangelical community.

EFCA GATEWAY Theological Institute has a new website: www.efcagateway.org. You can find information about the various GATEWAY offerings or express your interest in becoming a facilitator or student there.

Once a new GATEWAY Phase I group opens and facilitators are added and students register, all the information for the course, including the curriculum are found on this new website on the specific pages for their own private GATEWAY group.

GATEWAY is open to men and women of all ethnicities and backgrounds. It will deepen your theological understanding and prepare you for leadership in EFCA churches.

Church Remissionizing Needed: Please share!



Fellow laborers. I want to encourage you to be real in this day. Example of business remissionizing.
• Distilleries making hand sanitizers
• Auto plants making ventilators
• Hanes & Fruit of the Loom making face masks.

It’s time to get off of our plan and get on God’s plan. Business is driven by the dollar but right now the dollar is secondary to keeping their customers alive. That means a huge paradigm shift. I’m not sure the church is quite grasping the sea change yet.

Plans for new building, programs, initiatives, training and leadership pipelines need to be shelved to consider helping people survive physically so they can be saved spiritually.

In short, the Great Commandment needs to come before the Great Commission. This will require giving up on sweet ideas and dreams. Things that have been in the works for years. We can either recalibrate or parish.

This is a harder challenge for our church community than for business because there may be a longer lag time but eventually, we get it. My challenge is to get it now and. Get on with it. There will be a benefit on the back side of the catastrophe. People will remember who walked compassion rather than who talked about compassion.

I know this will be a pain but take the pill now church of God in order to be a healthy church later.

Ten years ago, we started GATEWAY Theological Institute. Since then many men and women have been equipped to be pastors, church planters, ministry leaders and officers in the church.
Here is a short short insight. In our majority culture churches, there are many who have gone through Collage Campus Ministries (Navigators, CRU, Intervarsity), Military ministries and Church based ministries like Bible Study Fellowship but there are few who have had the benefit of these in ethnic, immigrant and refugee ministries that have received this good training.
There are also many young leaders and retiring boomers that are look for equipping ministry to fulfill their gift and calling in the church but can’t afford seminary. GATEWAY Theological Institute meets that need. It is BUILDING AN ALTERNATIVE BENCH OF LEADERS FOR THE FUTURE other than our good Bible College and Seminary schools. It is a non-formal equipping that builds learning communities across America in English and Spanish. GATEWAY has become an organic leavening in the church fomenting all kinds of ministries and leaders of ministries.

GATEWAY received this message today and we wanted you all to celebrate with us as we congratulate this GATEWAY site on their completion of Phase I:

Hey Gateway friends,
Last night we held the mock license council for my graduating Gateway students from Cleveland 112 at Substance Church in Ashland. Everyone passed with flying colors. We had such a great time with this class and I’m very happy to recommend these three students (now leaders at Church in the Round) for graduation certificate. Please see the attached certificate order form. We can also archive the basecamp site.

I continue to be a huge supporter of the EFCA GATEWAY Theological Institute and keep recommending it to all my pastor friends.
Grace and peace,
Sean~~
