The years post high school can be extremely formative, and it's our desire that the young adults of our community continue to have a place they can call home, a place where they can continue to build upon the firm foundation of Christ as they explore what God has planned for them in the "real world."
412 Summer Camps is our annual Day Camps that run over the course of the summer. Camp is for students ages 6-12 and is a space where kids can come to enjoy the beautiful creation God has blessed us with, to have a great time playing games, activities and going on field trips in a safe environment, all while learning about Jesus in an age appropriate manner.
At Gateway we aim to create spaces of belonging so that individuals of all abilities are connected to the Church community.
In an effort to reach this goal we have a number of options available to suit individual needs.
Visionary Experiences are intentional opportunities for our youth and young adults to be engaged in global ministry. These experiences are specifically tailored to allow participants to experience God at work in the areas in which we ministry. We will jump into what God is already doing, support the local ministries and serve them in any way we can. We desire to be a blessing not a distraction.
Visionary Experiences & study tours are inter-generational. To allow for faith mentors to join our experiences will help our youth grow in their faith by serving along side those with greater life experience.
It is an honour and joy to play a small role in the discipleship of your children but the reality is that we only see them for an hour or two each week.
Discipleship is something that happens around the dinner table, or in the car ride to and from practice, in the everyday moments you have together as a family so it's our desire that we can come alongside you as parents and provide resources that you may find helpful as you raise your children to know and serve the Lord.
Here you will find the resources that have been shared with you throughout the year as well as other helpful resources.
Thank you for all you do for the youth and young adults of our church!
