I’m excited to work with MercyGate Church on this Worship Pastor position. MercyGate is a place where the presence and power of God is pursued with abandon. The opportunity here for a spirit-filled, discipleship-minded Worship Pastor is immense. The best days are ahead at MercyGate Church.
MercyGate Church (originally Mont Belvieu Assembly of God) began in 1930 and was the first and only Assembly of God church in the Mont Belvieu area.
MercyGate has seen tremendous growth under the leadership of the current Pastor, Donald Gibson, after his appointment in 2008. Attendance increased from 275 to an average of just under 500 people on a Sunday morning.
In 2012 Mont Belvieu Assembly of God became MercyGate Church and a few short years later, completed construction of a new facility to accommodate the continued growth.
In July 2014, a new MercyGate Church campus was opened.
The church grew to about 750 attendance by the end of 2019. In 2020 the online audience increased greatly while in-person services declined during the pandemic. Attendance has been steadily increasing since the end of 2020 and is now back to an average of 730 per week.
The Worship Pastor at MercyGate Church is responsible for the worship ministry of the church. This includes planning worship services with a focus on music selection as well as coordinating between AVL & worship teams. The Worship Pastor also works closely with other pastoral staff in planning worship services, church events or concerts. They also will develop other worship leaders and musicians, fostering a healthy worship culture.
