One of the words that seems to come up over and over again is CARE. A simple acrostic using this word might help give you an idea of what women at Gateway are really about:
C—Connecting
A—Arms of comfort
R—Reaching Out
E—Encouraging
We want to develop a strong leadership team that can effectively minister to other women.
Don't think you're a leader? Think again! If you can serve, you can lead. After all, wasn't that the type of leader Jesus showed us how to be? I'd love to hear from you.
MINISTRY TEAM BUILDING

We want to hear from YOU! Contact Linda Lilyquist at linda@gatewaychurchonline.com if you are interested.
One-to One Mentoring/Discipleship: If you are interested in learning a planned and thorough way of discipling women, please let us know. Our One-to-One materials are great for helping to ground women in their walk with Christ. We will have regular meetings for “mentors/disciplers” to encourage and train you in the materials. There is a sign-up list on the Women’s Ministry Board.
