The Gate Church

About this church

The Gate Church gathers in Room 1027 at the University of North Florida, 12000 Alumni Drive in Jacksonville. Sunday prayer runs from 9:30 to 9:55 a.m., followed by worship at 10. A Wednesday online gathering streams on Facebook at 6:30 p.m., and the church uploads Sunday sermons for later viewing. Because the congregation currently uses university facilities while saving for a property of its own, first-time visitors should confirm the campus building and parking directions before setting out.

Founded in 2007 after Louis DeSiena began praying about a Jacksonville church, The Gate describes itself as an apostolic house focused on training and equipping prophetic and apostolic believers. Its mission extends from Jacksonville and Northeast Florida to other nations, seeking to connect people with Jesus and empower them through the Holy Spirit and Scripture. The church expresses its vision through revival, spiritual power, and meeting people with love at their point of need. Published beliefs affirm the Trinity, creation, Christ’s death and resurrection, salvation by grace through faith, the church’s gospel mission, future resurrection, and the sacredness of race. Gate School of the Spirit provides ministry training online through Zoom. A newcomer can arrive early for prayer or come for the 10 a.m. gathering, while remote participants can use Wednesday Facebook programming or the sermon archive. Families should ask directly about current children’s arrangements, since the official children’s page does not publish age groups or classroom procedures.
