Who We Are

Identifying who we are helps to define what we do and where we are going. We are an international and inter-denominational Christian fellowship that exists to be biblical, relational, and missional in all we do. Our core focus is exalt Jesus Christ and his Word.

We are Independent.
Gateway is an independent, autonomous church. We are not associated with any other church worldwide using the Gateway name. However, under Indonesian law, every church must be under a registered denomination; therefore, Gateway is a legally registered church under the Gereja Kemah Injil Indonesia (the Indonesian version of the Christian & Missionary Alliance), with whom we partner in our gospel and humanitarian efforts in Bali.

We are International.
Gateway serves the English-speaking international and national communities and tourists giving our fellowship a rich diversity and strong multi-cultural and multi-national flavor.

We are Inter-denominational.
Gateway attendees come from various Christian denominations across the spectrum. Therefore, we keep to a simplified and conservative service that magnifies Christ and his Word to which we can all enjoy our unity in worship.

We are Biblical.
We believe, teach, and learn from the Bible as God’s absolute Word. We establish our faith upon these truths, and live our lives according to its principles. We walk with the Spirit as He guides and teaches us through His life changing Word.

We are Relational.
We foremost emphasize a personal, intimate, vibrant relationship with the Father through the Lord Jesus Christ. As God relates to us, we relate to others. As a family, we share life together through fellowship, encouragement, prayer, feast and fun.

We are Missional.
We are orientated around the mission to which Christ has commissioned His followers – to share the Good News, to make disciples, and love others in word and deed. It is a journey to which the whole church becomes an active and transformational Kingdom presence, equipping one another to serve people and societies around us and beyond.
