Come Hang Out With Us!
We’ve put together some information here that anticipates and tries to briefly answer some of the questions you may have prior to visiting our church for the first time. Our Inspire service lasts about an hour. Our band will hit the stage, and you’ll hear a song you may know, and probably a couple you don’t. You’ll laugh a little as you feel the onslaught of cheesy dad jokes. You will hear a message that is straight from the Bible and applies directly to your life. Don't worry about standing out or not knowing everything because we are also still trying to figure everything out, too. BTW, if you have any questions, comments or even complaints, there’s a Connections Spot available after every service in the Lobby. The Connection Crew are highly trained to get you the information you crave! ("highly trained" is a relative term, right?)
Gateway Branson is Nacho Mama's Church
(pronounced "Not your mother's traditional house of worship)
Got some serious doubts about Christianity? Maybe some negative thoughts about church? Not sure you will fit in, or afraid lightning might strike if you show up? Join the club. Seriously, Gateway Branson Church is made up of people who once felt very far from God and could never picture themselves as part of a church. So, bring your doubts and questions and wear comfy clothes. At Gateway Branson Church, no perfect people are allowed, so you don’t have to put on a fake smile. Be you and you'll find us being us...
When you come and decide to stick around, we want to invite you to have some Nachos! Every newcomer will have some questions or thoughts about Gateway Branson, like, "why" or "who's in charge"? We're happy to let you in on some secrets! After the Inspire service on the first Sundays of the January, April, July and October we invite new peeps to come and have nachos with some of our pastors and members at our church. Come and see why Gateway Branson is Nacho Mama's Church! Yes, your mom is welcome too.
Things are a little different here...
Fortunately, God didn’t give us one “right” way to “do” church. Some ways have become "tradition" over the years but that doesn’t make them wrong or right; they are just what works for some churches. We want everyone to belong and feel at home here at Gateway Branson so, you may just hear some Skynard when you walk through the doors and you may see a scene from your favorite movie. We want Gateway Branson to feel like your living room. God isn't boring and we don't want to be boring, either!
What if I don't believe in god?
We understand. You still belong at Gateway Branson! We're hoping that maybe you're open to exploring faith, and to the idea that maybe there is a God and maybe he's worth knowing.
