DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gateway Church, one of the fastest growing churches in North America, celebrated the opening of its newest campus, designed by The Beck Group (Dallas), on November 15th in Southlake. From a humble beginning in 2000, this church has exploded to a weekly attendance of over 18,000, including the main Southlake Campus along with two other campuses in the DFW area.
Gateway’s newest campus in Southlake offers 206,000 SF of space, including a 4,000-seat sanctuary and state of the art children’s facility. Centered around several natural ponds on the 180-acre site, the new building is part of Beck’s master plan concept, which will allow the church to eventually expand up to 1.2 million square feet.
"Gateway Church, with its meteoric growth and dynamic pastor, has become one of the most influential churches in North America," said Kip Daniel, a managing director with Beck. "We are proud to say that, with our relationship with Gateway, we have continued to work with the most innovative, leading church groups in the world."
