J & Vicki Calaway - Lead Pastors/House Church Coach

Dr. J & Vicki came to The Gate over 32 years ago. In 2020 God called them to begin a new pioneering journey of starting an apostolic network of house churches that gather at campuses and in homes across the Chicagoland region and beyond. They have a call to lead the local church into a new era of revival and reformation to see a great end times harvest. As well as overseeing our Gate Leadership College they also lead a house church in their home. Vicki is a coach for our network of House Churches and oversees our womens ministry. 

 

 

Scott & Debbie - Outreach & Associate Pastors/House Church Coach

Scott & Debbie have been on the team for over 20 years. Scott is the executive director over InnerMission Inc, our non-profit organization, taking people from surviving to thriving. Debbie helps oversee Gate Hubs and Rapid Rehousing— a partnership with the city leading families out of homelessness. They have three children (and several spiritual sons and daughters) and they have a huge heart for the entire NWI Chicagoland region and a call and passion to pastor people from the crowd to the core of the Kingdom of Jesus.

 

 

Bev Calaway - Office Administrator

Bev Calaway is a beloved member of the administrative team (and momma to J) doing many things to assist the Lead Pastor and help everything run smoothly behind the scenes in the daily operations of The Gate Church. She is usually the first face you see and the first voice you hear, and a blessing to everyone who knows her. She is constantly on the move, keeping us all on our toes around here and serves in many different ministries here at The Gate.
