Gateway Community Church - South Riding, Virginia

So many great people at Gateway from a variety of backgrounds! I've learned so much about Christ and faith at Gateway. It's a wonderful place to get connected in South Riding, whether you're looking for a new church home or curious about faith or the Christian life. 🙂

Beautiful smiles on the faces of the members. Friendly pastor who actually waits in the back to shake new comers hands. The welcome packet and gift is the icing on the cake. Still there checking things out.

I was searching for a church home and a small group in order to feel connected. I've been in many great, and not so great churches in the past, held leadership positions for both adults and children, but never have I seen anyone get singled out and made to feel worse than when they first came, all because they respectfully expressed honestly, and defended another person in the group who talked about seeking therapy for her marriage. It seems that if you don't speak the same way as the women in the small group, you get ousted. This was appalling actually, in a time where the church should be welcoming and a safe haven - I experienced the opposite here. This is not how Jesus would've handled things and sadly, many churches tarnish the name of Jesus all in the name of religion.

I visited my sister and found this church by her house. I love worship music here. It’s a solid church with great people and welcoming. I would come back if I’m in the area again.

We found this church because our son had indoor soccer training in their gym. The building is modern and warm. The staff was so friendly they gave my husband a tour of the building and we decided to come back on a Sunday. We had tried a lot of Loudon County churches but Gateway is by far the best in the South Riding area. The worship is contemporary and inviting. The preacher is dynamic, passionate and biblically sound doctrine is preached every week. The children's program is incredible and my kids love the all the hands on and interactive experiences with the small group setting. We love all the events and outdoor activities they put on for the community. A great church for families looking to connect!

Gateway Community Church is a very welcoming environment! People are nice, not pushy, there to help if you want it. Pastor Ed Allen does an amazing job making Christianity relevant and accessible with his very insightful and well-presented sermon series. The other Pastors and Elders do an excellent job as well. Lots of inclusive events, small groups, children's programs, mission work, etc. Highly recommend this church as a place to expand your heart, and embrace Christian living for you and your family.

Gateway Community has been our families church home for nearly three years now. Everyone is very friendly and community oriented.

We have three kids ages 5, 8 and 17 and they all LOVE the kids and youth programs.

Authentic Christian community that can be experienced on many levels from a friendly worship experience with great biblical teaching and sharing to great fellowships that was transformational in small groups to many other opportunities to grow in Christ. However, you must choose to invest in community and become involved.
