About Us
VISION
Finish the Race
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:1-2
History of Gateway Fellowship Kerr
Gateway Fellowship Church Kerr County began with a simple but powerful yes to God's vision: to help meet a growing need in Kerr County for a church where people could truly belong and grow in faith. What started as a small group gathering in a home quickly outgrew the living room within three months. God opened the door for the church to begin meeting in a local barber shop, where people were giving their lives to Jesus and getting baptized in horse troughs right in the parking lot.
As more people began calling GFC Kerr their home, the church transitioned into a mobile church at the Dietert Center in Kerrville, Texas. Even without a permanent space, the church family continued to grow through Sunday services, small groups, and a deep sense of community.
In 2023, God provided in a powerful and unexpected way when a local church felt called to give GFC Kerr their building—completely free of charge. This generous gift gave GFC Kerr a permanent home in Ingram, Texas. Since then, the church has expanded to three Sunday morning services and continues to see lives transformed.
From a house to a barber shop, to a mobile church, to a permanent home, the story of GFC Kerr has always been about trusting where God leads. Our mission remains the same: Helping Friends Become Devoted Followers of Jesus. With a heart for multiplication through small groups and a passion for regional impact, GFC Kerr is committed to reaching more people across Kerr County and the Texas Hill Country with the hope and truth of Jesus.
