Leadership

In November, 1996, Gateway Community Church was born! It was a huge step of faith by eight families who had a passion to introduce people who are skeptical of God, Jesus and Christianity in general to a way of doing church where all inquiries are welcome. My very supportive wife, Sherre, joined me in this faith adventure when our two children, Terah and Jared, were still in high school. It was as if all of my ministry years were leading me to this style of ministry.
Being the Pastor of Gateway Community Church has been the most fulfilling time in my ministry career. Gateway is comprised of some of the greatest, most authentic people with whom I have ever served. If you are ever in the area I would invite you to come and check us out--and see for yourself that what I have written is true! 

Bonnie & her husband, Rodney first attended Gateway Community Church in November of 2006 and what they found was a church that at its center was Jesus Christ and His Gospel. They found their church home at Gateway. Bonnie is passionate about praising God and helps lead worship with the praise band, Streets of Gold, as well as working with the youth Christmas musical and the Live Nativity Play. Bonnie has three grown children, Justin, Joanna, Marcus, plus a son-in-law, Scott and three grandchildren, Payton and Ava, and Sawyer. She is self-employed as a vocal instructor at Pro Musica Studio and as an Executive Administrative Assistant serving private clients in the Delaware Valley.

Matt grew up in Media, PA. After attending college at McDaniel College, and earning a degree in mathematics and his secondary education certification, he moved to Aston, PA.  In 2007, he earned his masters degree in education from Neumann University.  Since 2004, he has taught middle school math at Ridley Middle School. Matt has attended Gateway since 1997.
Though he grew up in a presbyterian church, it wasn’t until he started attending Gateway that he really consciously committed his life to Christ.  In the past ten years, Matt has been a regular singer and guitar player in the praise band as well as an actor in various skits and announcements at Gateway.  More recently, he has portrayed Daniel, Paul, and Moses for the summer Vacation Bible School series.  Matt has been a part of the Leadership Team in early 2016.
Life verse: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” - Philippians 4:13

Ro has been with Gateway since its beginning.  She and her husband, Ham, live in Rutledge, PA.  They have three grown children, five grands, and one great. Ro graduated from Notre Dame High School in Moylan and then attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, took classes at the Philadelphia College of the Arts and classes at the Community Arts Center in Wallingford.
Ro's duties on the leadership team are taking care of the house and grounds at Gateway.  One of her favorite duties is leading the Women’s Bible Study on Sunday mornings. She and Ham are also looking forward to restarting the “Relational Small Group” in 2022.
If you want to grow spiritually, be free to ask questions, and meet caring people come to Gateway!

Rodney & Bonnie have lived in the Delaware Valley area since 1976.  Rodney is a native of Georgia and Bonnie of Florida. They have three grown children, Justin, Joanna, Marcus, a wonderful son-in-law, Scott, and three grandchildren, Payton and Ava, and Sawyer. Over the years he has worked as a technician within The DuPont Pharmaceuticals Company, Hercules Inc., and Synthes, USA.  He is recently retired and enjoying time spent with grandchildren, catching up with independent research and church activities.  
Rodney has been at Gateway since November of 2006.  The warmth of the people and the church’s dedication to the Gospel as well the loving acceptance by the congregation are what drew them to Gateway Community Church. He is happy to be once again part of the Leadership Team where he serves as Team Meeting Moderator and as liaison to the Drama Ministry.
