SPECTACULAR


Our youth (and staff!) had an amazing experience at Spectacular. Gateway is one of four mission centers in the Midwest Crossroads delegation. We join together with Chicago, Brush Creek, and Kentucky/Indiana mission centers. This year we had 28 campers and 12 were from Gateway! Throughout the week we laughed, played, juggled, danced, created, prayed, ate, sang, cheered, and built a community together. We are forever changed by this experience.


Gateway also had several people contributing to the success of SPEC. We appreciate their time and talent!
