Our # 1 priority is the

sharing of the gospel

We share the gospel message and

the need to trust Christ alone for

salvation. (I Corinthians 15:1-4)

..so shall my word be that goeout from my mouth; it shall noreturn to me empty, but it sha

accomplish that which I purpos

and shall succeed in the thing fwhich I sent it. Isaiah 55:11

Gateway believes also in women

making an informed choice. We

offer the facts about abortion and

the developing child and have seen

85% of women counseled choose t

carry their child to term.

We also offer compassionate help

for women who have already

aborted.
