The Gateway Singers

Psalms 104:33-34 "I will Sing to the Lord all my life; I will Sing praises to my God as long as I live. May my thoughts (meditations) be pleasing to Him. As I rejoice (am happy) in the Lord".

Thank you for your continued consistent support of our 51 year-long of continual “ministry of encouragement”. Your prayerful and financial support is deeply appreciated, especially right now. With Covid 19 pandemic running rampant across America, we have had to postpone all of our concerts starting in March through July.. 

Covid has been hard on all of us. It has been especially difficult on our ministry. First of all, churches didn't meet for several week and/or months, let alone has an outside ministry team come encourage them. Please pray for us and for God to provide. We did sing for brother Jerry Weller's memorial service in August, have a singing trip to Indiana in October and some other Fall dates. 

Thank you again for your prayers and tax deductible love-gifts to Gateway Singers Ministry Inc. Our EIN non profit number is again posted at the bottom of this home page.  non-profit EIN #26-1648452. 

Our Mission

Making the most of every opportunity that God sends us by:

  • Sharing the "good news" through song and word
  • Encouraging Christians in their daily walk
  • Instructing believers and unchurched families about building healthy relationships
  • Lifting the spirits of the hurting and those facing crisis moments
  • Challenging and inspiring Christians to: 

              a) Love God.  (with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind)

              b) Love people.  (Love your neighbor as yourself)

              c) Serve both. (challenge people to involve themselves in serving others)

The purpose statement of every Christian is to lead people to FIND and FOLLOW Jesus. The Gateway Singers use music and the spoken Word to lead people to Jesus. It's ALL about Him!

Our Music

The Gateways lead worship with a variety of music styles; acappella, old-time  gospel, country, and contemporary. We carry our own BOSE sound system and keep the volume level comfortable for everyone. To schedule a concert, please email us at: don@gatewaysingers.com or complete a request form.
