The Gateway Church is a church community in the heart of Des Moines with a vision to practice the way of Jesus. People from across all spectrums of life and faith join together in a communal journey of being formed by the presence of God. Gateway believes God’s embodied goodness brings wholeness to individuals, families, workplaces, schools, and neighborhoods.

We believe integrating presence, formation, and renewal is at the heart of Jesus’ ministry and is the unique invitation to the church in our time and place.
