Volunteer Opportunities
While it's very important to attend worship services - to worship and sing praises, to hear messages from God's Word,
and to pray corporately - involvement at Gateway Baptist Church doesn't stop there.
The Bible says in Matthew 9: 37, 38 "...The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord
of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest."
Involvement isn't just about showing up at a worship service. It is also about discovering a community, sharing life with others
daily, and finding ways to serve according to your God-given talents. There is always need for more laborers. There is room for you. Here,
there are countless opportunities to connect to a family of believers that is committed to knowing Christ and serving Him.
