Join us every Sunday at 10:30 am for FREE breakfast and "Church for people who don't like church, where no perfect people are allowed!"
You don't have to dress up. Just COME AS YOU ARE. Everyone is welcome at Gateway regardless of what you think about church or God or religion. Gateway Branson Internet Campus is a place where God meets people who are far from perfect. This church is for people who don't really like church. This is a safe place for skeptics and doubters to ask their questions. We know lots of people have been burned by church experiences in the past. We hope this is a place where everyone can sort out authentic faith in a very real God and begin to experience it themselves.
BUT DON'T STAY AS YOU ARE... Spectators find it's hard to grow at this church. Take a risk. Meet some people. Get involved. Go deeper. Life change is about momentum - little steps you take toward God that lead to extraordinary results.

Exploration is at the core of the human condition. We're made to be curious, and we're made to connect in some way with the creator of all this. The question is, who is the creator, and how do we do it?
We're exploring real questions
that believers and seekers ask on a daily basis. We're tackling tough questions like - Does God exist? and Why is there pain and suffering in the world?
The goal is to engage and communicate with the spiritually curious in a way that is friendly, engaging and relational.
