Youth Group at Gateway

Our youth group is a place where students can build authentic relationships, grow in their faith, and be equipped to share Jesus with the world. Through engaging discussions, worship, and fun activities, we create a space where young people can ask questions, deepen their understanding of God, and find a supportive community.

Meeting Times

  • 2nd - 4th Sundays After Worship Service

  • Wednesday Evenings, 7pm

Youth Mission Statement

“To connect with students in the Salem area so they become disciples of Jesus that intentionally know Him, and are well equipped to go and tell others about Him.”

Meet the Youth Group Leader

Aaron Mireles

As the Executive Pastor at Gateway, Aaron finds many areas to use his creativity and passion for Jesus and life. Whether speaking on a Sunday, loving on our youth, leading the staff or remodeling the facility, Aaron’s enthusiasm comes through.

Aaron, his wife Sarah, and their 3 children, Siena, Max and Sophia, came to Oregon and Gateway from California, where he had served on staff for over 8 years. When he’s not at church, Aaron loves to golf, workout, or go hiking and kayaking with his family.
