The DNA of a Gateway Leader

At Gateway, we seek to build and nurture a culture for our organization that produces and protects a

God- honoring atmosphere. We lay the foundation for this cultural expression by personally living out

Gateway's values and instilling them in all who work alongside us on our staff. Our values can be

described by three words: spiritual, professional, and relational. By upholding these values and our

social covenant, we can better serve the kingdom through our vision, mission, and purpose.

Spiritual

Being spiritual is having God-centered influence grounded in scriptural truth and empowered by the

Holy Spirit. We value being teachable and humble, fostering a culture of kindness, trust, loyalty, and

honor. We are also servant hearted as we focus on building the kingdom and being full of faith to

hear, believe, and obey God.

Professional

Being professional is producing high-quality work in a productive manner while operating in a culture

of excellence, not perfectionism, to support Gateway's mission. We steward Gateway's vision and

purpose while upholding high leadership standards regardless of position and lead with love,

remaining above reproach in our conduct.

Relational

Being relational is valuing relationships over results. We show integrity by being humble, honest,

trustworthy, and accountable to one another and the Lord. We are unified in supporting the needs of

our organization- collaborating, being approachable in every situation, and having fun along the way!

We are also compassionate-always extending mercy and grace balanced with truth.
