What does a year with GSM look like?
"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
Matthew 28:19-20
Gateway School of Ministry is a 1 or 2 year experience that trains and equips individuals to be on the front lines of the faith helping to lead and start new churches. GSM's schedule is best suited for adults who have already started their careers or have a family. The school works in partnership with Gateway Fellowship Church Network to train leaders who will start churches. We don’t seek to be one large church. We are a church network that starts healthy churches all over the world.
What makes us different?
Discipleship – Our aim is to help you grow in your walk with God. Expect to be developed through teachings accompanied with practical spiritual disciplines, such as prayer, fasting, Bible reading & scripture memorization.
Training – Develop your leadership skills to help lead and guide the church for Kingdom advancement. You won't just be taught skills, but will be given opportunities for you to cultivate your leadership abilities.
Activation – With "hands on" experience for ministry, we believe that it won't just prepare for work within the church, but also in the environments that God has already placed you.
