The Gate Church (Columbiana, OH)

We are a group of people who have decided to join together on a journey to experience church the way God intended it to be. People are avoiding church by the millions in the U.S. as the result of two primary assumptions: It isn't relevant (i.e. it's boring!) and they see Christians as people who exist to condemn others who fall short of perfection. But . . .That’s not the way Jesus planned it to be! Just read the Bible again. Jesus' life was vibrant. It was exciting. His teaching was not only relevant, it was radical for His day! And, His final instructions to his followers is to share the message of ongoing forgiveness for those who desire true peace but don't "measure up" - not judgment! Good thing. Everyone at The Gate realizes that we mess up. If you think you need to get your act together, stop by and visit. You'll fit right in! We're all on a spiritual journey. The question you need to ask is: "Have I chosen the right path?" Tradition is great, but we realize that sometimes it can keep the journey from being real. The only indicator we use to see if we're on the right path is the Bible itself.
