Our Equipping Process

Gateway School of Ministry believes people learn best through hands-on experience in addition to other types of instruction. We utilize several different equipping methods to train our students. They include:

  • Self-directed learning through book assignments and online video classes

  • Experience gained through small group discipleship and ministry

  • Monthly mentoring cohort meetings via zoom
