2023-'24 Adult Life Groups

  • Gateway Community Church (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Our new semester begins the second week of September!

We believe you can't do life alone. Community is an essential and biblical part of Christianity. When we gather together to worship, we only scratch the surface of true community. Gateway's Life Groups allow you to take the next step, connect with other Christ-followers, and truly experience "life together."

Most of our groups meet at church throughout the week during the public school academic year (typically September through May, with a break for the Christmas holidays).  In these environments (usually lasting 60-90 minutes), you can expect to grow together each time you meet and leave challenged and encouraged in your walk with Christ.

We’ll see you this Fall in a Gateway Life Group!

Registration opens on Sunday, August 27. Click here to begin your adult life group journey at Gateway Community Church!

  • Making Crafts for Nursing Home Residents/Packing Hygiene/Necessity Kits for the needy here at Gateway

  • Litter sweeping, pulling weeds, and planting flowers in downtown Goldsboro

Some tasks are more family-friendly than others but for those with little ones too young to participate that day, check out this sheet with tasks you can complete that morning (or in the days before or after) as a family!

For a list of items we need to collect for the hygiene/necessity kits, please click here! Collection for these items will begin November 5.
