OneGATE Church is The Gate for Restoration
Six areas of our mission focus:
Restoring Cultures
We know that our differences can make us stronger. We must extend our life beyond our earthly culture and reconciling together with others cultures different so we can live as one under Kingdom Culture. OneGATE Church is about bridging the cultural and generational gap. As a trans-cultural body of Christ followers - we will be a church that lives united as One Culture in Christ above the comfort zones of our culture by birth. Having been born again, we live as one, where race, culture, socio-economic and educational statuses are blended together in unity. Our differences are not elevated above one another, but woven together into a beautiful tapestry of God's grace.
Restoring True Worship
At OneGATE Church, our concept of praise and worship is derived from what Jesus Taught About Worship:
He taught that there is true worship - "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." John 4:24; and there is also false worship, (Matthew 15:89? Isaiah 29:13).
Whereas true worship is centered on God as the Sole Object and Main Audience, false worship is offered through just the lips, but never from the heart. Whereas true worship focuses on the personality of God as the Almighty Creator, false worship is centered around the celebration of a mere geographical location or religious building. Whereas true worship is uninhibited, spontaneous and extemporaneous, false worship is rather too mechanical, liturgical, and passes as a mere parade of fleshy manipulations. Whereas true worship adores and glorifies God for His greatness, majesty and worthiness, (and not necessarily because of what He has done or has not done for us), false worship naturally tends to draw attention to ourselves, to portray us in the eyes of others as people of intense and deep piety that is, in the eyes of the less discerning and unsuspecting world.
Our Lord Jesus Christ emphasized in His teachings that worship was structurally and functionally designed by God as a means whereby mankind can come into intimate relationship of fellowship with Him. Jesus also taught that true worship should be centered on the Person of God, (Who is the Sole Object and Main Audience), rather than on a place or a geographical location.
Jesus taught that God still seeks after true worshippers today and that true worshippers must always worship God in spirit and in truth, because that is what we've been created and saved for, and that is exactly part of what we shall continue to do in heaven and for all eternity long. So, the sooner we come to terms with this fact, the better we will begin to appreciate the need to cultivate an intimate worship lifestyle of God. This in turn, will go a long way to help us dismantle and discard all our long cherished and much valued misconceptions about the ministry of praise and worship
In much more simplified terms, true worship, which is a vertical relationship relative to God, is a three dimensional activity, involving the three component parts of man spirit, soul and body.
Restoring the Broken
"A Healthy Mind, Body and Soul for the body of Christ"
At OneGATE Church, we believe that good health comes from God. We believe that good health belongs to all of us. Jesus was never sick. He went about teaching, praying and healing all the people that needed healthy bodies. If you are in need healing in your body remember this, when Jesus went to the cross he carried all of the sickness in the world so that you would not have to.
Good health is a gift; it is part of the salvation Jesus paid for at the cross. All you need to do is accept what Jesus has done for you. It is a bible promise that belongs to you. As a child of God, you need to realize that good health belongs to you! Do you need prayer for the healing of your body? Come to one of our weekend meetings. We would love to pray for you after the meeting.
