Welcome Jeremy & Whitney Lloyd, Gateway’s new WorshipPastor! One year ago this month Gateway began a search for a fulltime WorshipPastor. The reason for the search is that I, along with the senior staff andPersonnel Team agreed that we needed a fulltime Worship Pastor. We neededsomeone working with me during the week in sermon and worship planning.
Cory Singleton has graciously served Gateway for the past 2years. We love Cory!  However, many ofyou may not know that Cory’s fulltime job is in the youth department at the SCBaptist Convention. God has used him over the years in this role. Having Cory,Christian Tyler and Leona Mixson has allowed the search team to “not rush” infinding the one person God had for Gateway. A HUGE thanks to Cory, Christianand Leona!!!
