In a statement by elder Tra Willbanks, this is considered to be worthy of celebration.
“This is an important and joyful moment, as we’re promoting one of our own…someone who has already been instrumental over the past year in building a culture of restoration, healing and unity in our church,” Willbanks said.
This announcement comes after Daniel Floyd became Gateway’s lead pastor at the end of May. Floyd and his wife, Tammy, pastored Lifepoint Church in Fredericksburg, Virginia, before accepting the position with Gateway.
““For us, this isn’t just a new assignment. It’s a sacred calling. 20 years ago, we had the privilege of planting Lifepoint Church… and it’s been the honor of our lives to shepherd that community. So, when we say this next season is a calling we don’t take that lightly, and we mean it with all of our hearts,” Floyd previously said.
