Revolution Youth

Thank you checking out Revolution Youth. And we hope we can help you with any questions you or your guardian might have about who we are. Our prayer is that you would experience Jesus who loves young people. The aim for Revolution Youth is to reach this generation, helping young people to develop Christ-like relationships and encouraging them to live for Christ and serve others as they face the realities of life.

Gateway Church is one church, with two campus locations (Panet and South / Osborne). Most of the youth activities are currently held at the 851 Panet campus. We hope you will contact us and get to know some of our incredible leaders.

We have 3 divisions to Revolution Youth:

Junior High Ministry, Senior High Ministry, and South Youth Ministry.

Feel free to email us at gatewayyouth@hotmail.com for more info.

Revolution Goals!

Every Generation - Although we have separate Jr. and Sr. High Ministries, we really believe in inter generational connections. Church is family. So we make sure we do things facilitate this philosophy.

Combined Jr. and Sr. Youth Events on Friday Night.

Combined youth nights are usually held periodically throughout the year. These activity nights may be in the church building, or an otherwise specified location. These activities are a great opportunity for youth to bring their friends who do not necessarily go to a church and they make it easy for newcomers to feel welcome and accepted.

During the summer months all our events are combined.


Prime Time O.C.

Once a month, we have a worship night called "Prime Time O.C." This allows all our cell groups to "cel-ebrate" together. During this time we have an interactive service where we encourage youth to "plug in' to God" by participating and interacting and responding to the word of God. We want the Holy Spirit to have freedom and use the spiritual gifts that he has given.

Retreats and Conferences

Retreats and Conferences - We try to incorporate youth retreats and conferences into our schedules. Traditional events such as Asessippi Ski Retreat, Consumed and Camp Cedarwood each have various emphases such as leadership development, evangelistic outreach and spiritual growth. Check the youth calendar for details and/ or brochures on these retreats or conferences.

S.Y.M. - South Youth Ministry

S.Y.M. - The South Osborne campus offers a Sunday morning
youth class (Fusion - see Jr. High Ministry for details) on Sundays. The class is run by Kevin and Kate Groenheide. There is no cost for the event. The day varies, so check out the youth calendar for the date.

South Youth Ministry Leaders

Kevin and Kate Groenheide

We are so priveledged to have Kate and Kevin ministering to the youth in the South Campus. They are incredible in their passion for seeing young people come to a genuine faith. Kate has helped in the Gateway Youth Ministry for many years but took a break to get married and have a baby. We are so happy to have them both lead the South Youth Ministry at the South Campus.

3 weeks of the month Sr Rev is all about the O.C. O.C. is held in various homes and on different days. Usually around 7:30pm till 10pm on the weekends.

The first weekend of the month Sr. Rev have an event to develop relationships (and allow the cells to connect) and give opportunity for students to bring friends. At those activities we share from God's Word and give opportunity for youth to respond. The activity night alternates from Fridays and Saturdays as to avoid conflicts with the O.C.

On the second Friday of the month, Sr. Revolution combines with the Jr. Revolution for a worship night called Prime Time O.C. Sr. High Revolution has strong emphasis to see young people go deeper in their love for Christ and grow in their spiritual gifts (participate rather than spectate).
