Our Ministry Partners

God is at work in our world, and at Gateway, we believe God desires for us to partner with Him in His work by helping meet the physical, relational and spiritual needs that we encounter. As a church, we have worked to develop strategic partnerships with people and organizations around the world that align with our Global Values.

We are currently partnered with global organizations in Haiti, Burundi, India, and with numerous local organizations in Austin. We also support individuals serving on a mid to long-term basis as Missionaries.

We partner financially by supporting specific projects designed to meet holistic needs in their communities, and we partner relationally by providing opportunities for our people to participate on short-term teams called GO! Teams.

GO! Teams

At Gateway, we desire to encourage and equip people to actively work to “Change their World” as they follow the Way of Christ. In Matthew 28 we see that Jesus tells us to “go” and share the love, life and freedom available in Him to those both in our neighborhood and all around the world! One of the ways we practically do this is by offering GO! Teams. GO! Teams are typically a week-long experience where Gatewayers display the love and attitude of Christ to people around the world by meeting physical, spiritual, and relational needs. Our teams partner with established organizations, joining in the ongoing transformation taking place through Christ-followers and churches, resulting in life change both in those being served AND in those serving!
