OUR PASTORS, Ben & Rose

Pastors Ben & Rose Porter are the founders and Pastors of Gateway Church. Pastors Ben and Rose have been married for 31 years and have 3 children (Shaunta, Dontaue, & Kiersten) and 4 grandchildren (Taijaih, Taihlyn, Malachi, & Esiah).  They graduated from Victory Bible College in 2008, ordained as Pastors in 2016, and after working in Ministry for over 25 years, God called them to  launch Gateway Church in March of 2017. They are the proud spiritual children of Tony & Cynthia Brazelton (TCBM.org), (VCMI.org). Pastors Ben & Rose have a passion to inform people how much Jesus loves them, and only through Him can they be saved, discover their true worth, true value, and purposeful identity. By understanding who Jesus is they come to find He is the answer to all problems, the peace in all situations, and the support for every need. 

Jesus is the Reason

"We are not religious, we are righteous because of Jesus, and like Jesus, we love people and want to see them saved from sin, grow, heal, and become the people God originally designed them to be and to become. If you allow Him in, you will come to find that God loves you, sacrificed Jesus for you, and has a specific plan to bring you life". 

Our Vision

To influence the transformation of the world by accepting who Jesus Christ is, by knowing who we are, & by living life according to the wisdom & power that works in us to establish Heaven on Earth.

Our Mission

To teach everyone to believe in Jesus Christ, to instruct them in the knowledge of their true identity in God,  to encourage them to return to their God-given position, and to empower them to fulfill the will of God for their lives.
