The Gate Church is located at 451 Roper Road, Clarkesville
From the moment one walks through the doors of The Gate Church in Clarkesville, GA, there is an energy felt unlike any other. Although new to our community, the church is thriving.
“What drives me is the vision of our pastor and his encouragement,” Miranda Vandiver spoke of her church home. “Jonathan’s teachings and example of lifestyle make all the difference.”
Jonathan and Deanna Barron are the pastors of The Gate Ministries; a young, enthusiastic couple who want to build God’s Kingdom. “The movement of God is like a wave,” Jonathan interjected, “We want to ride that wave all the way in.”
The Gate Church has developed a Mission to be “church like it should be.” Their goal is to be the church like the Acts New Testament Church. A church filled with people who are empowered to do and be as Christ intended and to pursue God with all their hearts.
Pastor Jonathan studied at F.I.R.E School of Ministry, where he received an Associates Degree in Pastoral Ministry and earned his B.A. from Beacon University in Columbus, Ga. Growing a church is nothing new to Jonathan; he grew-up the son of a pastor and learned a great deal from his father and mother.
“There are days, just like everyone experiences, that I want to give up,” Barron replied humbly, “But I can’t go back. This is God’s calling on my life.”
The music sets the stage for worship. A dynamic and talented Worship team opens the service with anthems of praise. And there is a welcoming, sincere joy from Gate members for every person who comes to hear the word of God.
“I find I can’t miss Sunday morning. No matter how much laundry I need to finish or how tired I am,” Kailey Smith talked of her experience as a member of The Gate. “I’ve learned that in life, the only way out is through. And the way through is The Gate.”
The Gate is located at 451 Roper Road in Clarkesville, Georgia. Service times are Sundays at 11:00 a.m. with Growth Groups meeting at various times throughout the week. If you are looking for a church home or are interested in a change, The Gate is definitely an inviting atmosphere and worth visiting.
