Baby Dedication

Please take a moment to register each child being dedicated — feel free to add as many as you'd like on the same form.

Rescued - The Conference
Do you carry a deep burden for the hurting—those bound by trauma, grief, or cycles they can’t seem to escape? Maybe it’s someone you love. Maybe… it’s you. Or maybe God is stirring your heart to step into the pain of others with compassion and confidence in the Holy Spirit—but you’re not sure where to begin.
RESCUED was created for both: those in need of deep healing, and those who feel called to walk in trauma healing and deliverance. Whether you carry wounds of your own or long to help others find freedom, this conference is for you.
Join us September 10th through 12th at Gateway Franklin. Register today by visiting crownedimage.com.
Baptism
Water baptism is a powerful outward expression of your faith in Jesus, symbolizing your commitment to follow Him publicly in front of your friends, family, and church family. We are overjoyed by your decision to take this step and are excited to walk with you as you grow in Christ!
Our next baptism service will be on Sunday, September 13. Register here or email Pastor Bruna at bruna@gatewayfranklin.com with any questions.
Discover Gateway
Discover Gateway is your next step to getting connected and finding your place at Gateway. Over three weeks, you’ll connect the dots between who we are as a church, what it looks like to follow Jesus in real life, and how you can find your place in this community and make a difference.
Our next Discover Gateway begins September 13, and this time we’re offering two class times: 9AM and 11AM. Whether you’re brand new or have been around for a while, choose the time that works best for you and join us! Register here.
Ladies Breakfast: Pancakes & Pajamas
Ladies, our next Ladies Breakfast is Saturday, September 19 at 8:30 AM, and this one is Pancakes & Pajamas!

Laos Rescue Quilt Project
Gateway continues to partner with an organization in Laos that rescues and provides restoration for young girls who have been sex trafficked. The Stitchin’ Angels are having our fourth quilt day to complete our goal of providing 35 personalized quilts for these young women. Join us on September 26 at the Church House from 9AM - 3PM. Sewing skills are not required — there is plenty of prep work and ironing to be done as well, so join us to lend a hand!
Mobile Food Pantry
Mission 21 is partnering with The Well Outreach to sponsor and staff a Mobile Food Pantry for those needing food assistance.
D-NOW
On October 23-25 GSM is going to have our 3rd annual D-NOW!!
D-NOW or Discipleship Now is a weekend retreat that is geared toward student formation and outreach. We will have fun activities, worship, service projects, and small groups in host homes. This is a great opportunity to dive deep in community, discipleship, and a relationship with Jesus!
D-NOW is the #1 tool of student ministry to get students to pursue a fresh relationship with Jesus and to get new students plugged in. I have heard countless testimonies (and seen them unfold) of students going to D-NOW with no friends or desire to be in the student ministry, but after the weekend, they met some of their best friends and were all out for Jesus!
Men's Conference: Called to Greatness
Every man is running a race — and most know, somewhere deep down, that they were made for something greater than the life they're living right now. Called to Greatness is a two-day men's conference built to meet that ache head-on.
Through worship, honest teaching, and men standing shoulder to shoulder with men, you'll be invited to lay down the weight of the past, receive what may never have been given to you, and step into a life marked by honor, purpose, and freedom.
You won't get there alone. This is a room full of brothers, running the same race, finishing strong together.
Welcome Social
New to Gateway? If you’ve started attending within the past six months, we’d love for you to join us for our Welcome Social!
Come enjoy a meal in the Great Room, meet our pastors and elders, connect with other newer faces, and hear about what’s ahead this fall. It’s a relaxed evening designed to help you get to know some great people and feel more at home at Gateway.
Register here.

Sewing skills are not required — there is plenty of prep work and ironing to be done as well, so join us to lend a hand!

Lunch and Learn with Isaac Lutz
Come meet the Lutz Family, our mission partners in Cambodia, and learn about their ministry to the orphans there!
If you've been around Gateway for any period of time, you've heard about BATCAL (Buy A Tree, Change A Life). The beauty & uniqueness of BATCAL is that all proceeds go to benefit children, globally and locally. For the past 13 years, the global funds have gone to support orphans in Cambodia through People for Care & Learning and the ministry of Isaac Lutz and his family.
On July 19, Isaac will be at Gateway and we'll have an opportunity to hear about his ministry and ask questions. Lunch will be provided in the GSM sanctuary after the 11am service, so please register here if you plan to attend.
Gateway Ryder Cup
The Gateway Ryder Cup is the signature event of the Gateway Golf League—a head-to-head, team-based showdown modeled after one of golf's greatest traditions. Pastor Charlie and Pastor Torry will captain 12-man squads in a 24-player battle for bragging rights, with teams and pairings sorted by handicap to keep every match competitive.

Operation Laos Rescue Quilt Project
Gateway is committed to serving the poor, vulnerable, and voiceless. Through our partnership with Jonny Moore and Serving Orphans Worldwide, we have helped rescue 10 young Laotian girls from the sex trade. These precious young girls are now living safely in a 40-bed dormitory, surrounded by care, hope, and a future. Now our Gateway Stitchin’ Angels are stepping in to remind each girl that she is seen, known, and loved by creating personalized prayer quilts just for them.
Our goal: 35 twin-size quilts — and we need your help! The congregation can help by donating used sheets and fabric, joining Quilt Day on June 27--sewing skills not a must, or donating funds for shipping and supplies.
Foster Care Interest Zoom
Every child deserves a safe and loving home. As part of Mission 21's commitment to defend life, we encourage and partner with families who are willing to open their hearts and homes to vulnerable children. If fostering has ever crossed your mind, this Zoom presentation is an opportunity to anonymously explore what fostering looks like, ask questions, and learn more about the incredible difference foster families make—without any obligation or pressure.
Click here to sign up for the virtual Q&A on June 9th where you’ll get to ask your questions and hear real experiences from foster parents and experts in the field.

Gateway Kids Camp
This summer at Gateway, our kids 4 years-5th grade will be learning how to prepare the soil of their hearts, to plant the seeds God has in store for them. We will learn about the principles of the harvest through Galatians 6:9, and how perseverance and obedience will lead to God's blessings!
God has appointed and anointed your kids for such a time as this! We will help them get their hands dirty, and dig deep into who they were created to be, in Christ Jesus!
