Celebrating 60+ years of worship, community, disciple-making and ministry Gateway is a church home that provides a place for people to come to know Christ and to grow in a personal relationship with him as a part of a loving and encouraging church family that reaches out near and far to share the Good News of life in Jesus Christ.
We are people with all kinds of backgrounds and experiences (both good and bad) who are united together through the common bond of forgiveness, love and transformation that we experience through Jesus. We invite you to come and experience life in a community of everyday people who are experiencing exceptional freedom, real relationships, and fulfilling personal growth as we journey together in the life that God has given us.
History
Established in 1951.
in 1951 a group of Winter Park residents began a new church meeting at Killarney Elementary School. They soon built their first building at 701 Formosa Avenue and became an integral part of the local community ministering to residents and maintaining an ongoing relationship as a Partner in Education with Killarney Elementary. Today we gather every Sunday at 10 am for worship and small groups where people can come to know Jesus Christ and together with others grow in a relationship with God. We have a wide variety of activities and outreaches including a Friday Night Open Gym where families, teens, and adults can come for basketball, pool, ping pong, board games and more.
