About our Church ...

As Pastor of Gateway Baptist Church, I would like to thank you for taking time to visit our church website. Feel free to check out our site and learn about our beliefs, our service times, and upcoming events. Take a look at the photo galleries to see our people (after all, it's the people who make up the church...not the building!). We would love for you to visit a service in person so we can meet you. I Hope to see you sometime! May the Lord bless you and draw you closer to Himself!

What to expect in our services:

Our services will be centered around expository teaching from the Bible that relates to life. Our music remembers the great Hymns of the faith, but with a desire to build new traditions with music that is centered on Christ. You will find a wide range of dress in our services. We want you to come as you are, without dress becoming an obstacle to your presence here. The Bible teaches that people need to strive to be modest and not call attention to themselves by how they dress because worship needs to be about God and not us. With that said, some will fulfill that instruction in jeans, and others will do that in shirts and ties.

Gateway Baptist Church is composed of great mix of ages and from many different walks of life, and even different countries. However we all with the same basic need - to know and grow in Christ. We are self governing Baptist church in fellowship with the General Association of Regular Baptist Church and with Sunshine Baptist fellowship.

About Pastor Bob Leavitt ...

Pastor Bob Leavitt , a native of Central Wisconsin graduated from Baptist Bible College/Seminary in 2006 completing a Master of Divinity degree. He strives to give a clear presentation of the Word of God by answering two basic questions: What is God talking about? What is God saying about what He is talking about? From this simple, but effect method of interpretation, the truth of God's Word is made clear and clearly applied.

He believes that through God's Word, God has given us all that we need to live a life of true joy and peace. Most importantly, he preaches the gospel of Christ which is the only way for a person to receive eternal life with God in Heaven. No matter what your need is, God is the answer. He has served at GBC, as Pastor since 2006. He and his wife Fran have two fine sons, Neal (23) and Nick (16).
