About Gateway Worship
Emerging from Gateway Church—a congregation rooted in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and recognized as one of North America’s most substantial spiritual communities—this distinctive worship team initially led a modest group of fewer than 200. Today, they serve as the musical and spiritual conduit for a diverse congregation that exceeds 40,000 members across various campuses, not to mention the thousands more reached through online platforms every week.
More than just a group of musicians and vocalists, Gateway Worship represents a rich tapestry of generational talents and backgrounds. Together, they share an unshakeable commitment to ushering the church community into a deep, personal place of worship. Moreover, they emphasize the transformative power of Scripture as it comes alive through their music.
The Songwriting History
Gateway Worship has become a frontrunner in producing original worship music that’s both biblically sound and emotionally compelling. Known for iconic songs like “Revelation Song,” “O The Blood,” and “The More I Seek You,” their catalog has been sung in churches worldwide and has been translated into multiple languages.
Their Mission
In the spirit of Gateway Church’s larger mission for worldwide influence, the team has been proactive in producing worship music that stands on a strong biblical foundation while resonating with emotional depth. Their contributions to the worship landscape are marked by anthems and hymns that are rapidly becoming staples in worship settings globally. Gateway Worship’s songs are sung across denominations and have been translated into multiple languages, echoing the church’s inclusivity.
Their goal is to enrich and equip other worship ministries, reinforcing the ethos that worship is not merely a Sunday experience but a lifestyle.
