The Family was created to provide encouragement, support and love.
Over the years the family has taken many different shapes and sizes. The challenge for today's family is strive to continue to be a place of encouragement, support and love in a world that is not always family friend. This is where Gateway comes in. 
Our Family Life Ministry is not another program we've added to our list of programs. It is the filter we use to create and evaluate what we do to influence children, students and their families.
Reggie Joiner, author of "Think Orange: Imagine the Impact when Church and Family Collide . . ." wrote,
Orange is what you get when you combine two primary colors—red [family] and yellow [church].? If you paint only with red, you will get what only red can do. If you paint only with yellow, you will get what only yellow can do. But when you paint with red and yellow, you’ll get new possibilities, fresh solutions, vibrant outcomes.
Gateway's Family Life Ministry understands that:
o Parents are called by God to lead their children spiritual
o Our role is to equip, resource and empower parents to lead them
o Together we strive to pass on biblical truths and Godly character qualities to the next generation.
Our ministry to families strives to synchronize church and parents around a master plan to build faith and character in their children. 
We believe the greatest gift we can give to our parents is the confidence and courage to do what has wired them to do. It is our desire to pull alongside each family to equip, encourage and support them.
