Who we are
Gateway Church of the Nazarene began in 1989 in Temecula, as a church plant under the leadership of Rev. Kenn & Marsha Coil.
We were initially called Rancho California Neighborhood Church of the Nazarene. Temecula Valley Neighborhood Church of the Nazarene was next, and finally we became Gateway Church of the Nazarene.
Gateway's congregation pitched in to build our current building, and we moved to the Murrieta campus in May 2001. The Coils were visionaries and had the gift of asking. Many miracles marked the time Gateway benefited from their pastoral leadership.
In recent years, Gateway has continued to reach the Temecula Valley and the world for Jesus through AWANA, Vacation Bible Schools, mission trips, and seasonal outreach ministries.

Eternal God, this holy night is radiant with the brilliance of your one true light. May that light illuminate our hearts and shine in our words and deeds. May the hope, the peace, the joy, and the love represented by the birth in Bethlehem this night fill our lives and become part of all that we say and do. May we share the divine life of your son Jesus Christ, even as he humbled himself to share our humanity. Amen.
