| What would a new building mean for you or for Gateway?
"a building would probably increase the growth a lot [in the youth group], because it is kind of hard when we are in the small room over there, and when we are maxed out."
-Megan Wallace
"It would be so great to have our new building, it is going to be so exciting for the youth group whenever they can meet at a building of their own, and have some things , set up games and just their own stuff and can invite their friends and feel real comfortable."
-Julee Beltran
" We are really excited about the new building, knowing as we continue to have our kids grow in the faith, sometimes when they are little, they need to have little spaces to learn how to listen and learn about God's Word. As we think about training rooms and things like that, it makes it better for them to learn, instead of going to the back, as you see a lot of people now having to walk outside. We are really excited about the future and God is going to bring us an awesome building just for his purpose."
-Mark Atencio
"A new building to me. the first thing that comes to mind is spending more time with my family. I am glad to help, participating in setting up and taking down and everything, but those things take time away from the family. And a new building enables us to have that stuff done. As far as worship. It's having a place that you are familiar with, it's like having a second home, you feel comfortable there, you feel the presence of family there, like your own home. That is what I am looking forward to you."
-Monte Corley
"I would love to have my own classroom, it is a definite need. I teach the two and three year old class. On roll we have 15 to 20 of those sweet kids. And we would love to have the space, just to store our materials in class."
-Kendra Hinkle
"I'm teaching nuggets this week. We have lots of crafts that we have to bring to class each week. It would be nice to have those displayed somewhere. It would just be a blessing, when we get our building, to have a room of our own just to have everything set up for our kids, because it does take preparation time and takes time away from our family setting up. Storage would be wonderful to have to not have to lug it back and forth."
