Make an online gift in just a few clicks.
Our generosity is rooted in God’s generosity toward us. At Gateway, we see giving as an act of worship that shapes our hearts and deepens our love for one another. By sharing our finances and resources, we join in God’s work of renewal—creating spaces for people to encounter Christ, meeting tangible needs in Des Moines, and extending hospitality to our church community and neighbors.
How to give
Online
Make one-time or recurring gifts using a credit/debit card or ACH bank transfer. ACH helps reduce processing fees (only $0.30 per transaction) compared to credit cards (2.3% + $0.30 per transaction).
In person
Give cash or checks during Sunday gatherings. For a tax-deductible cash gift, use an envelope with your name and address. We don’t pass an offering plate—please place your gift in the designated giving box in the sanctuary.
By mail
Send checks payable to The Gateway Church to:
The Gateway Church
218 6th Ave, Suite 200
Des Moines, IA 50309
Other ways to give
Your generosity can take many forms beyond regular giving. If you’d like to explore one of these giving options, please contact us to discuss current needs and next steps. We’ll provide any necessary details and acknowledgment for your records. Some of the most impactful options include:
In-kind donations
Items or services that directly support our ministry and events, such as hospitality supplies, audio/visual equipment in good condition, professional services, or materials for specific projects.
Stock or securities
Donating appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds can be a tax-efficient way to give. This type of gift can allow you to make a significant impact while potentially reducing capital gains taxes. We can work with your broker to coordinate the transfer.
Planned giving
Including Gateway in your will, trust, or estate plan ensures your generosity continues to bear fruit for years to come. A planned gift can be a lasting way to support the church’s mission in Des Moines and beyond.
