Welcome to Uphold Young Adults Ministry!

Uphold is the Young Adults Life Group at Gateway Church International, created for ages 18–30 to build authentic community, grow in faith, and walk out life together. This group exists to provide a welcoming space where young adults can connect, be encouraged, and strengthen their relationship with God and with one another.

Through gatherings centered on fellowship, shared meals, conversation, and fun, Uphold creates an environment where relationships can grow naturally and faith can be lived out authentically. Whether you’re new to church, looking for deeper connection, or simply searching for community in this season of life, Uphold is a place where you belong.

Our heart is to see young adults supported, encouraged, and strengthened as they navigate life, faith, and purpose together. If you’re between the ages of 18 and 30, this group is for you—and you’re always welcome to come check it out.

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.
