Our History
Summer of 2003
The Start
19-year period
Goals Preserved
Some of the goals for Open Gate were to train young people in Urban Ministry, giving practical teaching and hands on experience that could be repeated in their home areas so Urban ministry could expand outward from the communities of young people whom attended Open Gate.
It also served as a place where young people could be exposed to what was happening in Reading and maybe partner in this area as well.
2022
Today
Open Gate holds fast to the original vision and strives to better the program by the grace and power of God. It’s not about Open Gate…it’s about God and all those who truly want to worship and serve Him!
