Welcome to Food Ministry!

The Food Ministry at Gateway Church International exists to serve and bless our community by meeting practical needs with love and dignity. Through our monthly food pantry, we provide free groceries to individuals and families who may be experiencing need—no questions asked.

Each month, our church hosts a Community Day, where anyone is welcome to receive free food, including fresh produce and seasonal items such as frozen turkeys during the holidays. There are no forms to fill out and no income requirements—our heart is simply to be a blessing and to care for our neighbors well.

Guests are invited to drive up to the main building and join the line that forms around the church. During the distribution window, vehicles are directed to the Fellowship Hall where participants can go inside and shop for their free groceries in a safe and welcoming environment.

We are grateful for the partnerships that help make this ministry possible, including local farms and markets that faithfully support the work of feeding our community. It is a joy and an honor to serve through this ministry and to share God’s provision with those around us.

Everyone is welcome. Come as you are—and be blessed.

What should I wear?

Come as you are! You’ll see everything from jeans and hoodies to dresses and button-downs. Comfort and reverence go hand-in-hand here.

Do you have something for kids and teens?

Yes! We have vibrant children’s ministry during our Sunday service, and our KNOWN Youth Ministry meets Sundays at 5 PM (1st & 3rd Sundays). Kids and teens are a huge priority here.

How long is the service?

Our Sunday service runs about 120 minutes, including worship, teaching, and time to respond to what the Holy Spirit is doing.

What kind of worship can I expect?

Spirit-led and powerful. We’re passionate about encountering God, and our worship often includes prophetic flow, prayer, and spontaneous moments.

Is there a way to get connected after visiting?

Absolutely. Stop by the Connections Desk after service for a welcome gift and info on how to get involved. We’ll help you find your fit.

Do I need to sign up before attending?

Nope — just come! You’re welcome to visit without any pressure or sign-up. We’re here when you’re ready.

What if I need prayer or ministry?

We have prayer available during and after services, and deeper ministry opportunities during Encounter Nights and Life Groups.

What makes Gateway different from other churches?

We’re a church that equips. You won’t just be sitting in a seat — you’ll be encouraged, trained, and sent into your calling. This is a place for spiritual growth and Kingdom activation.

Do you offer water baptism?

Yes — especially during our Encounter Nights (1st Friday of each month). It’s powerful, spontaneous, and many experience healing and breakthrough.
