“I
have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power
and Your glory. Because Your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify You. I will praise You as long
as I live, and in Your name I will lift up my hands.”
– Psalm 63:2-4
Getting Involved in Worship at Gateway
Praise Band and Vocals >>
Do you play an instrument or sing? With our
growth, we need musicians more than ever! Here at GCC
we have a great group of people who come together to
lead worship every Sunday. Some serve regularly; others
are involved on a rotation. If God has given you a musical
gift and a desire to share your talent, be part of a
ministry that prays and plays together. Just be willing
to empty yourself and let God use you. We practice on
Sunday mornings before services. Contact Ladd or Marcia
to discuss how you can get involved.
Drama at "Stage One" >>
God's word comes to life at "STAGE ONE!" "STAGE
ONE" is the drama ministry at GCC. With expert
coaching and meaningful skits, drama relates God's truth
in a way that hits home. So act now and check out this
life-impacting ministry. You can get in on the act by
contacting Kelly, Ladd,
or Marcia.
Media Support >>
Those great worship services have a lot of talented
people off stage helping to make sure the sound, visuals,
and lighting help create an atmosphere of worship. If
you have experience or talent in these areas, or would
like to develop your natural interest and ability in
any of these areas, let Ladd know.
Worship Support >>
Many creative and gifted people are needed to change
stage sets, produce ministry videos, and help set up
for each Sunday, among other things. If you want to
serve in any way, contact Ladd or Marcia to get involved.

People enjoy the enthusiasm
at GCC's worship services, and they should, because
in Christ, we have a lot to celebrate. Each Sunday at
GCC, we strive to give God the best we have by combining
relevant messages, contemporary music, and media of
all kinds to share the message that Christ gives us
true life and joy when we reach out to him. Whether
you are searching for answers, hurting from life, or
just seeking meaningful worship and fellowship, God
has a message of hope and love for you at GCC. Let's
worship Him together soon!
