Who we are

Hello, my friend! Thank you for taking a few moments to read about our family here at Gateway Grace Fellowship! So, what is our niche in the Kingdom of God among many fine churches here in southwest Florida? Well, people tell us they see us as a…

1. Family church

Pastor Mark

It’s true. We are far more relational than programmed and people are like family to us. Our heart is to help you experience that very thing. That’s why we offer all kinds of ways to get connected like: Adult Bible studies and Sunday School, Men’s prayer breakfasts and softball, Women’s Bible Studies and Moms Helping Moms, Youth ministries and service projects, Awana Kids Club, Vacation Bible School and more!

2. Healing church
Many have come and been restored by the unmistakable power of our healing Lord! His heart desire is for our restoration physically, emotionally and spiritually as His children.  A religious god cannot heal. But our relational God? Well, come and find out for yourself.

3. Community church
Our current and future facilities are designed to be shared with the community and we love to partner with our area schools, businesses and governmental entities to bring our community together and serve one another —from our vantage point— in the name of the Lord!

4. Trans-denominational church
I love to tell folks we’re kind of “Bapta-costal-terian.” Why? Because I preach straight from the Bible, lift up Jesus Christ as the One and Only Son of God, and believe in the power of the Holy Spirit to transform our lives! So while we are Southern Baptist by heritage, we are not the caricatured Baptist church that some warily avoid! In fact, over 70% of us were once Catholic, Episcopalian, Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, Independent Baptist, Mormon, Jehovah Witness, New Age and more!

5. Missions & ministry church
Over the years we have built a mission portfolio of over fifty local, national and international ministries and projects that we gladly support! From our kids and youth, to many of our adults, we get involved in mission projects! I also serve and travel around the world as a pastoral consultant and speaker with Awana Clubs International and the 4-14 Global Initiative.

The rest of the website will tell you more, my friend, but please know this: we love new folks and we’d love to have you join us!

Praying to see you soon,
Pastor Mark
