LifeGate church started in July, 2023 as a new work uniting the ministries of Abundant Life Church led by Fred and Jan Denham and and the Gate Community led by Ron and Libby Hamilton. After weeks of prayer and seeking God, Holy Spirit birthed this new work to raise up the Ekklesia of Jesus Christ to bring Kingdom transformation to our Holy City. The leadership team consists of Ron Hamilton as the lead Pastor, Fred Denham as a Founding Pastor and along with their wives, they all serve as the leading Elder team.
OUR HISTORY
Abundant Life Church was established July 14th, 1974, with one message in mind: Come together as one Church of Charleston! "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” Matt. 18:20, NKJV
The mission has always been to praise and pray together in the power of the Holy Spirit and God meeting us with signs and wonderment, making Abundant Life Church a house of prayer for ALL people.
Ron and Libby Hamilton, who helped to launch Seacoast Church in April of 1988, planted the seed of the Gate Community ministry in the spring of 2015 when they with a team started a pilot class of the Gate School of Ministry (called The Jesus School of Ministry). The class taught believers to discover their true identity and to step out more as Gates bringing the ministry of Jesus into their world.
Later in the summer of 2017, Ron stepped out of his role at Seacoast Church after almost 30 years to step fully into the ministry of The Gate to encourage, train and empower more of God's sons and daughters to bring the realty of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth as Jesus did.
One of the key verses that helped shape the call and vision of the Gate was Micah 2:13 that describes the people of God passing through the Gate with Jesus, the "breaker out" King going out before them.
"The breaker goes up before them; They break out, pass through the gate and go out by it! So the King goes on before them, and the Lord at their head!"
At LifeGate Church, we see believers in their Kingdom assignments, being gates of Life, bringing the healing, salvation and freedom that only comes through Jesus Christ.
The vision and mission of LifeGate Church is to equip, empower and deploy the body of Jesus Christ to bring the reality of heaven on earth in our unique assignments. Our team believes the abilities and talents given by the Father, the five-fold gifts given by Jesus Christ, and the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit are to be honored, developed, and taught to believers in Charleston to fulfill their mission.
We do this through our Sunday morning services and other public gatherings like The Rising (see our website page for times and locations), Live stream teachings and weekly worship and teaching sessions.
We believe the gates of hell will not prevail against the church Jesus is building. "Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over ALL the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you." Luke 10:19 NKJV
