| GOAL
Gateway Community Church Women's Ministry believes when we've touched the heart of a woman we've touched the heartbeat of a family. It's a ministry that welcomes all women, inside and outside our church walls, from all walks of life, regardless of their past to participate in the women's ministry opportunities of her choice.

Our ultimate goal is that the women participating in heartbeats ministries will find their special place of service. A place of service that is a direct response to the unique call on her life which was developed through a personal intimate relationship with Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As she steps out in obedience to fulfill her unique individual call that she is encouraged and supported by the entire Gateway community.

All women's ministry opportunities will be under the leadership of our pastor and ultimately under the supremacy of Jesus Christ, the image of the invisible God, by whom all things were created, visible and invisible, and the reason for these ministries.
