Gateway Church

Gateway Church is a megachurch with locations across Texas. The main complex in Southlake includes a worship hall that holds over four thousand people, along with support buildings on a property of roughly 64 acres (26 hectares).

Pastor Robert Morris founded the congregation in 2000 with an initial gathering at a hotel in Grapevine attended by one hundred eighty people. Over the following years, the community grew rapidly and opened additional branches across the region.

The name derives from the biblical idea that Christ serves as an entry to faith. Large video screens and modern stage setups shape the look of the meeting halls, which resemble concert venues with rows of seats and lighting systems.

Services take place on weekends at set times, allowing visitors to orient themselves by location or online broadcast. Ample parking areas ease arrival, while wheelchair-accessible entrances and wide corridors allow access for people with limited mobility.

The congregation runs spiritual programs inside the Coffield Unit, the largest prison complex in the state. Volunteers there offer regular services and counseling for inmates.
