Heart for worship with pastor robert
At Gateway Church, one of our highest values is the presence of God in worship. Worship is not just the precursor to a message or event but an integral part of gathering together and a way to have an intimate encounter with Him. During worship, people hear from the Lord, feel His love, and become more aware of His everyday presence.
