Meet Our Staff
Our Staff consists of Pastors Craig and Tom McMichael
Lead Pastor
Craig McMichael
Hi! I’m Craig McMichael. In 2004 I graduated from Onsted High School. In 2015 I became the Associate Pastor at Gateway Church. Since then I have served as the Youth Pastor and Children’s Ministry Director. In April 2024, I accepted the call to be Gateway’s lead pastor.
​
I have been married to my wonderful wife Leeann for 15 years and have two kids who attend Onsted Schools. They are Oliver (12) and Vivian (5).
​
I love to preach and teach the power of God’s word. My desire for everyone that attends Gateway is to guide them into a relationship with Jesus Christ and help them live out their faith as they engage with their community and the world.
Some things I enjoy doing are hunting, fishing, cooking, playing piano, and playing drums for one of our praise teams.
