Gateway Fellowship is an advocate of the idea the the church is the people, not a place or a meeting you attend. Church founder, John Van Pay, creates an atmosphere that is joyful and focuses on community service. Whether it is picking up trash on Bandera Road, volunteering at the Casa Helotes Senior Center, caring for the homeless, or welcoming over 100 new residents per month to the city of Helotes, TX; they want everyone to know that they matter.
