Sports Outreach
The goal of Gateway's Sports Outreach Ministry is to provide venues by which we can reach out to members and
friends with the message of Jesus Christ.
We believe sports provide a way to share the Good News of Christ to people who otherwise would never have considered
being part of a church body. Listed below are the current activities we offer.
You can also read about our future expansion program called U-Got-Game which will provide the facility for basketball
and volleyball league play in our community.
U-Got-Game Family Life Sports Center **Future Plans**
Gateway's U-Got-Game program will be designed to support the creation of the Family Life Sports Center. This center,
with two full-size courts, will be a ministry tool of Gateway that will reach outwardly to others and inwardly to church
members. Family, friendships, fellowship, fitness and fun are key elements in all that will occur in this facility. Through
sports and fitness, we will reach out to those around us with the message of salvation in Jesus Christ.
Here is a list of some of the major events we hope to have in the new Family Life Sports Center when it is complete:
- Basketball
- Broom Hockey
- Cardio Equipment
- Free Weight Training
- Martial Arts
- Nutrition & Aerobics Classes
- Sports Demonstrations From Known Christian Athletes
- Summer Sports Camps
- Upwards Basketball
- Volleyball
Skateboarding
Viewpoint Skate Church is a ministry of Gateway Baptist Church. Our objective through Viewpoint is to reach out to the
youth in our community by stepping into their world. This is truly an "edge" ministry that attempts to extend
our grasp far beyond the reach of the youth in our church. We want to infiltrate the skateboarding culture for the cause
of Christ. Our skatepark is located at the church in the back parking lot. All skateboarders are welcome to join us on
Thursday evenings from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m., weather permitting.
Golf
This outreach ministry will appeal to many in our community. Our golf tournaments are for every skill level and are open to both men and women. Everyone will enjoy a time of fellowship and fun at one of Gateway’s golf scrambles. We have two tournaments and several golf days throughout the year.
Fishing
This ministry reaches out to the fishing enthusiasts and outdoorsmen in our community. Our mission is to
bring men together to fellowship, learn and enjoy what our Creator has given us dominion over. We treasure and respect the
fish God has created for our lakes and waterways, we just treasure them a little more when they are covered in cornmeal and
lying in a small amount of heated oil! We also have annual fishing tournaments.
Legacy Outfitters
We participate in Legacy Outfitters, a local chapter of a Christian outdoorsmen organization. Legacy Outfitters brings together men who share a passion for the outdoors and gives them the perfect place to share life-shaping experiences in a positive, encouraging environment. We long to inspire generations of men who will leave a legacy worth continuing...a legacy of faith in Jesus Christ and of responsibility as a man. We meet the 3rd Monday of every month at 6:30 p.m. at the KC Hall; men 17 years and older are welcome.
