Easter is upon us. Tomorrow is Good Friday and Gateway celebrates Easter with five services at the North Campus.

Just to make sure everyone is on the same page, we will offer Kids Programs for all kids, birth through 5th grade for all five services. We expect some services to be less attended, so depending on what service you come to, your child may be in a different room than normal, but we have great things planned for all of the kids.

Important note:
Every Easter, we have a lot of guests. Since it’s Easter, most of these guest plan to come on Sunday morning. That means our 9:00 and 10:45 service will be the most full. AS a church, we want to make as much room as possible for our Easter guests. So, if you’re reading this post, would you please consider coming to one of our other services? We’ll have the same exact program at our 5:00 and 6:30 services on Saturday and at our 12:30 service on Sunday.

As a special thank you, we’re offering free children’s and family portraits following these three services. That means if you attend the 5:00 or 6:30 service on Saturday or the 12:30 service on Sunday, you can get a free Easter family portrait. Within a week or two after Easter, you’ll be able to download full resolution pictures from the web or even order pictures to be printed. It’s a simple way we can say thank you for making room for our Easter guests. For more information about the Easter portraits, click here.

In case you missed the news previously, Gateway will be holding a church wide baptism on April 5th. This Sunday at 5:00 PM in the garage, we will be hosting our very last baptism class for kids. Don’t worry, we’ll host more classes, but not until after the April 5th baptism. So, if you have a child that is interested in baptism or asking questions about choosing to become a Christ follower, the baptism class is a perfect next step.

Last week we launched Kids Quest South in our new location. It was incredible. Only a few bugs to work out for this week. If you missed it last week be sure to check out the colorful, clean and beautiful new Kids Quest environments. When checking in your kids, come into the main school building first. Grab a drink and some snacks before dropping the kids off in that very same building. Enjoy the pictures below. See you on Sunday!

Just in case you didn’t know, we are offering a baptism class this weekend at the North Campus. We will hold the class in the Garage at 9:30 AM and 1:00 PM. This class is for children and their parents. At this class we teach specifically why we get baptized, specifics of actually getting baptized as well as what it means to be a Christ follower. It’s very informative and interactive. This class is a required prerequisite for children who want to get baptized. So, if your child plans to get baptized on our April 5th baptism or some other time this summer, be sure to attend one of the classes this Sunday. Register for the class here! Although parents need to attend the class with their child/children, you only need to register the children for the class.

Baptism: April 5th (after each of the services)

Baptism Class: March 15th at 9:30 AM and 1:00 PM in the Garage. Click here to register.

Q & A

What if I can’t make this class?
Depending on how much interest we have, we may try to offer another class before the April 5th baptism. If you can’t make this class and would like to participate in the April 5th baptism, email us at kidsquest@gatewaychurch.com

How old does my child need to be to get baptized?
Age isn’t the determining factor on baptism, it’s their understanding. We believe that baptism is a response to a personal decision to follow Christ. If your child is able to make that decision, they are old enough to be baptized.

Can I baptize my infant/baby?
We do not practice infant baptism. However, we have an incredible Child Dedication service. Click here to read more about Child Dedication.
