equip classes

Equip classes are classes we offer to help equip the body of Christ to carry out God’s mission. These classes are not intended to replace our weekly worship gatherings or Life Groups, but are instead short classes, in most cases lasting a month or two, on specific and focused topics.

SEminary Classes

Gateway Church and Knox Seminary have begun a partnership that gives you the opportunity to try out a seminary class without credit for free to see what it would be like. If you find that it is something you would like to pursue then you can simply register for a class on the Knox website where you can earn credits for classes you attend online with the end result being a Master’s degree of your choice.

Membership

At Gateway Church membership is open to those who:

baptisms & dedications

Baptisms: At Gateway Church we believe baptism is a sign and symbol that marks someone as part of God's covenant community. Therefore we practice the baptism of people who have professed faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and have promised to be obedient to him (Believer Baptism), as well as infants of one or both believing parents (Infant Baptism).

Child Dedication: At Gateway Church we have chosen not to make a parent's decision between baptizing or dedicating their child a point of argument, but instead make room for both. Because baptism and dedication both reflect the partnership and mutual commitment of parents and the church in the spiritual upbringing of the child, parents wishing to dedicate or baptize their child must be members of Gateway Church.

     - Winter Class: February 28; Believer baptisms Sunday morning, March 31 and infant baptism/child dedication Sunday morning, April 14
     - Summer Class: June 19; Believer baptisms and infant baptism/child dedication Sunday evening, August 4

Knox seminary

Are you interested in growing deeper in your faith and in your knowledge of the Scriptures? Have you ever wanted to see what it might be like to step outside the typical Bible studies and classes that churches offer? Did you know there is more than 1 reason to go to seminary? Knox Seminary not only offers 4 degree programs, but also has 5 certificate programs that could benefit you as a Life Group leader, a Next Gen leader, a future church staff member, elder or missionary, or even just a regular church member. Whether you are feeling called into pastoral ministry or are simply desiring to grow in Biblical knowledge and application, seminary training may be an option for you.

Gateway Church and Knox Seminary have begun a partnership that would allow members to pursue one of those degrees or certificates for ⅓ of the regular tuition cost. The Church Partnership Program is designed to help make the cost of a seminary education more affordable for students, and Gateway Church has several scholarships available for members who would like to take advantage of this opportunity. 

For more information about Knox Seminary, the Church Partnership Program, or to enroll in classes you can simply go to the Knox Seminary
website. For more information about degree or certificate options, or to find out more about Gateway Church’s scholarship, please ask for a Knox Seminary brochure at your campus Resource Center, or contact the church office at info@gatewayepc.org.
