Gateway Community Church

Love this church but the south campus is where i go. The pastor eric bryant is awesome and so is eddie and kenny

Come as you are but don’t stay as you are is their motto. I love it, it’s brilliant & very true. We are all there to be a better YOU! I like that they have 3 different times on Sunday to fit everyone’s needs, or most anyways. Hope to see you there on Sunday’s

My husband & I have been in search for a church that preaches directly from the bible & believes in all the gifts of the holt spirit.
When I came to this church, it was our last hope. (We have been to 6+ churches in the last year) the people there greeted us with a warm welcome, & made us feel at home.
He preached directly from the bible, didn’t sugar coat a thing. Which is very big to me! He was doing a series on understanding the Old Testament. (Which is very helpful for those who are super confused with it)
The only thing I didn’t like was that worship was super short. I LOVE worship, it’s my favorite part of church. Just you & God connecting through music, but it only lasted for 10 minutes! Make the services longer if you have to! I enjoy this church & feel Gods presence, just wish they would extend worship for 10 more minutes.
Other than that, great place! The Holy Spirit dwells in that place!

I’ve been here a couple times… and I’m thinking of rating churches more often. You see, here’s the thing. A church, no matter what kind of church, should have it’s main religious entity at the center. The church should also be welcoming and able to accommodate people who haven’t been to church before, or in a very long time. I took a year off, so I’m visiting churches with a new perspective.
The show is on at this church! And Jesus Christ really doesn’t seem to be at the center. It starts off with a countdown to «worship» instead of just… starting? Call me crazy, but a countdown is a little cheesy. And when the worship starts, you’re supposed to focus on God while there are bright shining lights in your face. And singing songs that you don’t know because they’ve written them. So that’s a little awkward because you’re just standing there listening to «bottled» songs. The same words. In different orders.
As far as the teaching goes, definitely good. It was Bible based. And although he skipped around a bit, which made it hard to follow, it was good. I learned some things, and the speaker had a great way of teaching people. I will say the timing and segment was exactly the same both times. 3 songs, 2 people telling you «church happenings,» a video or 2, then another song, and teaching. They’ve got it down to a T.
Anyway, this church looks like all the other «mainstream» churches with coffee, music, everything being timed/​scripted, and cold to the general public. If that’s your scene, go for it!

I have an incredibly diverse background in religion that opened my heart to different believes including none Christian religions. In trying to understand it all and learn or fit in, Gateway is the place that spoke to me. It’s large and intimidating but their come as you are mentality is very welcoming.
You can walk in, sit anywhere you would like, sit back and enjoy a relatable to all message that will inspire you to seek more. They’re sense of relationships, community and serving is a next step my husband and I are exploring and we look forward to growing spiritually. We love their online option for the «one of those days» you’re not able to physically attend, although I know friends who have moved and this is how they stay connected and informed. Their app is pretty awesome too! Lots of resourceful tools and information.
All the pastors are so inspiring and use everyday examples that are relatable for reflection. I love going to Gateway!

Give this place a try!
This place is HUGE, with plenty of parking! The inside is gorgeous, modern, and inviting, with something for everyone! It’s big enough you can blend in, but if you’re looking to connect there are plenty of options. The music is chill evoking, and the sermons hit it out of the park. It is truly a place that meets you where you are in your journey!

I was raised an atheist, I’ve been to churches previously as part of a relationship. All kinds of churches. Now, for a variety of reasons I’m questioning and doubting many things. I’ve done a fair bit of meditating, which I recommend, but I realized I need something else.
I choose gateway because a number of people I know spoke highly of it and it’s gets great Unilocal reviews. (Thanks again Unilocal!ers). This is a spiritual, very warm, and very open community. The services I find incredibly touching and moving. It is very modern church, but the cross and the gospel are still central to it.
I’m not a «believer» yet I feel welcome here. The tag line, «come as you are» is very true. The good Friday and Easter services touched me deeply.

I love this place make you feel very welcome and a part of the family. The child care is amazing there is never to many kids for one adult the ratio is good and my son is always having a good time when I come get him. Lots of things to do in the week to get connected to the church I will call this place home.

Great place to explore Jesus.

Great church. I’ve been going for years.

This is by far the best church I’ve been to in my life. The pastor was great, and they have great youth activities. And the building was amazing! Great atmosphere and message.

Our family has been going to Gateway now for a year and we love everything about it! Our kids go to the kid quest and every sunday thats all they talk about! Each service always goes above and beyond. We feel so fulfilled when leaving. Unlike some churches we have visited in the past Gateway is extremely welcoming and non judgmental. Anyone would feel at home here. LOVE GATEWAY!

I’ve been coming to gateway for over 4 years… A great place for community, sharing, love and a place to discover Christ. Not alone but with others, together in love.

I am totally SO disappointed with Gateway Church. I have been going to Gateway Church now for six years and what once was a spirit filled meeting has become a study in philosophy. I felt like I was attending a philosophy class than a worship service. Seems to me that Gateway is confused in what they are. What are you Gateway? Are you Christian, Buddist, Muslim, Hindu… what do you believe? Seems to me you have no clue. I am SO disappointed in this outcome. I really liked John Burke but his last service was pathetic and confusing boring and left me really unnerved.
Also, kids Quest has some definite issues there. The lady who was in care of my 21 month old looked at me like some stranger when I came to pick up my child like she wasn’t going to release my child to me. All in all it was a terrible experience. I wouldn’t leave my child with your group no longer. It is so sad. I truly was a big supportter of Gateway and it saddens me because now I have to search for another group. I guess Shoreline will be my next stop. Thanks but no thanks!

I have attended this church for only the past 2 Sundays. I enjoy the down to earth and comprehensible sermons. The music is fun and interactive though it is geared a little more to the younger generations. I felt at ease here and they spent more time on sermon the. Introducing everyone and other events. I like that they offer a connection time right after service to connect with people around your neighborhood with like minded beliefs. I will continue to attend this church hopefully making it my new 2^nd home. I also work rotating schedule and the multiple services available and also available online makes it easily available to me. This is defiantly not your more aggressive pastors so if your looking for that this is not the church for you

Since I moved close to the area, me & my friend decided to try this church. The music… worship music was simply awful. I might had a higher expectation but the music they played was like a rock style. Top of that hardly no one was singing along with the band. Well, the gal who was singing had way too high tone & the guy who was singing had way too low tone. But even so I try to sing along but the way they played the music wasn’t the way I expected from the church. I mean I attend Austin Stone which they have a great music worship but I am not big fan of the sermon. Gateway church… Music was pretty bad but sermon was just ok. I guess I just have to keep trying to find that right church who has good music worship & a good sermon.

I LOVE this Non-​denominational, Come as you are church! If you’ve been burned by religiosity in the past, come check this place out. The music is Awesome too :)

Inspiring, uplifting, and non-​threatening.
The Gateway pastors, team and staff are truly passionate and compasisonate.
I grew up Lutheran MO synod, where you were told you were going to burn in hell and the standard non-​unique red hymnal worship literacy and hymns would put anyone to sleep. Im sorry if I offend, its still meaningful, bible based God fearing style of worship, but oafter 26 years of it I was burnt out and working for the church not on my own spiritual grown and relationship with God. That got me on some wrong paths.
I moved to Austin and hear Gateway commercial on 101X in late 1999, I started to attend services in early 2000 at the theater off 290, then the Red Lion then the Synagog off Bull Creek, and was rejuvenated by what I felt, heard, saw and experienced.
Some folks think that this is the ‘cool’ church that offers coffee plays rock or covers hits and has a come as you are, flip-​floppy, shorts atmosphere, …and to some or most that is the way it si and thats fine… but its still about the connection, bible believing God fearing nondenominational Christian principles and the impact that Gate way has on individuals thru the day, week and years, and the community… but the most important thing is STILL… you and your relationship with God… not the band or the coffee drinkers… those relationships will flourish only after you get right and reconnect realign yourself with the Lord God Almighty, maker of Heaven and Earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
Check out the Gateway at
, listen to the messages by John burke (lead Pastor) on «why you should believe» and «is God real»…for starters… then rock out to Jacob and the band…
John is motivating and inspiring a true patriot warrior of god and his Family are jems… blessing from God… Thank you Beau

I LOVE this church. I grew up Luthren, then Baptist, a little 7^th day Adventist and eventually what was nearby only on holidays. I knew it was good for me to go so I’d try to sit still, listen & not let my mind wander but I always had a hard time getting much from it. I couldn’t really hear the message or maybe I wasn’t truly looking to at the time. I started feeling like church was just a bunch of different Pastor’s opinions and how was I to know which one was right? I thought maybe I needed to find my own opinion, my own truth, and started reading the bible.
You shall seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:13
Gateway is the first church I’ve gone to where I can actually hear what they are saying. I can hear God. The messages are straight from the bible, the testimonies always put tears in my eyes & the whole place is filled with such joy for Jesus it’s overwhelmingly wonderful. As soon as I walk through the auditorium doors I can feel good in the air. The kind of «good» you want to be a part of and share with everyone. I don’t sing, but listening to the music here makes me want to jump up on stage myself and join in:).

I just love this church because you’re allowed to experience God the way you see fit. It’s not a church that is super pushy or even very traditional. They make you feel welcome, whether you’re the highest saint, or the lowest sinner. Which is often taught, but rarely practiced in most churches I’ve grown up with. I also like the option to watch online when i can’t make it to church.
As someone who grew up in the church, this is the first church in a long time that i actually like to attend. I’ve seen a lot of «religious» services in my lifetime, but this place is really different. They truly encourage a relationship with God, which is & should be personal. No 2 humans are the same, & neither are our walks with God. They simply give you tools & help guide you down your path if you should need help.
