To develop a healthy “inviting, nurturing and sending” congregation served by a team of leaders. We seek to minister with giftings in five areas: apostolic, prophetic, evangelistic, teaching and pastoral–all which are Spirit-directed, rather than agenda-driven, and have their relationships guided by what people are called to be and not by what they have been.

To provide a home congregation for people who are called to  minister around the world to the body of Christ.

 

 

To network with other congregations and ministries through New Testament Fellowship of Churches, our own 501 (c) 3 network, which is in turn associated with a fellowship of Christian networks of churches known as Kingdom Life Network of Churches (KLN). Kingdom Life Network includes around 300 churches world-wide, which are networked for fellowship and mutual support and encouragement.

To network with local pastors and congregations for the transformation of Elizabethtown and the Central PA region.

To be a spiritual resource to Christians outside of LifeGate through writings and conferences and the development of models for ministry and evangelism.

To be a training ground for persons to be released to start new congregations, house churches and marketplace ministries.
