Join the asUR Network
Gateway Leadership Initiative (GLI) is mobilizing churches & church leaders to launch church planting Networks as a part of the asUR Movement—leading people to “come as you are” but not “stay as you are” in churches that actually restore a lost, broken world around them. We desire to support church planting movements all across the U.S. by assessing and equipping leaders to start, grow and multiply new churches that have a culture that allows people to “come as you are, but not stay as you are.” We see the Church fulfilling its God given mission when it helps people move from lost to leading in the Church.
