Meet Rose Heights Church

At Gateway Church, our heart is simple: love God, love people. Everything we do centers around bringing these two together by helping people connect with God and with each other.

We are one church body encountering God’s presence together, and we have congregations planted throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex and Jackson Hole, Wyoming; multiple prisons; and local gatherings around the world. Our faith is firmly rooted in the Bible and worship, and we live out our faith by being submitted to and empowered by the Holy Spirit.
