What to Expect
We’d love to meet you.
Walking into a new church can feel awkward, especially when you don’t know anyone or what happens next. Here’s what a Sunday at Gateway looks like, so nothing catches you off guard.
Sundays at 10:15 AM · 806 E. 2nd St., Oakley, Kansas

Your first Sunday
Here’s how the morning goes
1
Park anywhere
There’s no reserved or visitor parking. Grab any open spot and head in.
2
Grab a coffee
It’s free. Say hello to someone if you’d like, or just find your way in. No pressure either way.
3
Check in your kids
Gateway Kids is for birth through 5th grade. Check your kids in at their classroom, or keep them with you in worship.
4
Find a seat
The service lasts about an hour: singing, communion, a message from the Bible, and prayer. Join in as much or as little as you want.
5
Stay or head out
Stick around afterward to meet people, or leave when it ends. Either is completely fine.
What to Expect
About an hour, start to finish
Each Sunday includes singing, communion, a message from the Bible, and prayer. Come as you are. Wear whatever you’re comfortable in, grab a free coffee, and stay afterward to meet people if you’d like.
Your Kids
Kids are central to what we do
Gateway Kids has age-appropriate worship and lessons for birth through 5th grade during the service. Check your kids in at their classroom when you arrive, or keep them with you in worship.
Your Students
Not the future of the church. Part of it now.
Middle school students meet during the 10:15 worship service for Bible teaching, activities and time with friends. Codey and Maggie lead the group.
