The Leadership Philosophy of Gateway Life Church

Leadership

The head of Gateway Life Church is Jesus Christ. As an organization, we seek to reflect his priorities in all we do and how we do it. No decision is ever made that would knowingly contradict any of Jesus' teaching. In addition, through the guidance of the indwelling Holy Spirit, we endeavor to discern God's vision for us as a church. Whenever we implement a plan, we keep one eye on our effectiveness, and the other on the next step God seems to be showing us.

Multifaceted Leadership

An imperfect system filled with men and women of integrity will function far better than a perfect system filled with men and women who lack integrity. The people we choose are as important as the system we use. Furthermore, the imperfections in any system will stand out larger than life when the system is put to the test.

On a human level, three groups of people direct the ministries of Gateway Life Church. Those bodies are the Elders, the Board of Directors, and the staff.

The way the three groups work together can best be stated as follows: the staff directs the ministries of the church; these ministries are supported by the policies and financial resource allocation determined by the Board of Directors; and all the activities of the church are carried out under the watchcare and supervision of the Elders.
