GET WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD AND UNDER ANY CONDITIONS

The lost are dying and believers avoid suffering because answering Jesus’ call to nail ourselves to the cross is difficult.

Laying down our lives is hard enough, but lack of direction in our calling and relational issues are just some of the many challenges that tempt us to give up.

But what does surrender look like on a practical level? And how are you supposed to know what direction God is calling you?

  Be transformed from someone who wants to do something big for Jesus into a faithful worker willing to be unknown by the world for their sacrifice.
Though we cannot eliminate the call to die to self, we do whatever we can to walk with you on the path to the cross. 

GET TRAINED

Learn to overcome the physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional challenges that come with following Jesus and doing ministry. 

JOIN A TEAM

At Mountain Gateway, we are a family. Join the ranks of those who have given their lives for the spread of the Gospel.

CHANGE LIVES

If we never give up, we will see the glory of God dawn not only in the hearts of the lost, but in our own lives.

We know what it’s like when the gap between where you are in your life today, and living out your purpose for God seems impossible to fill. 

  • Create space to hear from God about the direction He has for your life.
  • Get equipped with the tools you need to keep going even when you want to quit. 
  • Get the relational skills you need to work with others in a ministry context. 
  • Build a foundation of spirituality through prayer, fasting, worship, and study of the Word.
​My heart felt like it was going to explode out of my chest for the people around me who didn’t know Jesus, but I knew that I couldn’t navigate the journey alone - the thought of figuring out how to do ministry by myself was overwhelming. I needed to learn to walk out my calling in God on both a spiritual and a very practical level. The Mountain Gateway Academy was more than I even knew I needed. I grew in connection with God in a way that drives me to love others better. I learned to persevere in tough times. I gained life-long friendships that encourage me to seek Jesus no matter how hard life can get. By the end of my training, I was more convinced than ever that Jesus is worth all that I have, and everything that I am.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We know that to see the lost come to know Jesus we must embrace not only the joy of the gospel but also the call to die to ourselves.
The lost are dying and believers avoid suffering because answering Jesus’ call to nail ourselves to the cross is difficult. Laying down our lives is hard enough, but lack of direction in our calling and relational issues are just some of the many challenges that tempt us to give up.

The Mountain Gateway Academy arms believers with the practical and spiritual tools needed to persevere long enough to see God do the extraordinary. Though we cannot eliminate the call to die to self, we do whatever we can to simplify the path to the cross.
