August Gate
is a new church in the city of St. Louis. Our mission is to be a church
community that seeks to love God because of the Gospel, love people toward the
Gospel, and restore the city with the Gospel. We gather
on Sunday evenings at 5:00pm at the Trinity Lutheran
School House located at 1809 S. 8th Street in Soulard.
There is parking available on the streets as well as the marked lot north of
the church. We would love for you to join us.
What to
Expect
It is no
secret and we don’t apologize for the fact that August Gate was planted to
reach a younger generation of the unchurched in St. Louis. The 20's and 30's are the most unchurched generation our nation has ever seen. Because we want to reach everyone with the Gospel, especially the most unchurched, our worship
gatherings won’t have a lot of what you might call your grandpa’s “old time
religion.” We have stripped off many of the non-essentials of tradition while
we seek to hold tight and true to the essential elements of the Christian
faith; namely, the Gospel.
Please come
dressed as you feel comfortable. Be ready for a 40-minute sermon and 25 minutes
of worship based in Scripture. Every week we have hang out time before and
after the worship service including snacks, coffee, tea and other drinks. You
should expect several people to try to connect with you.
Just So You
Know
We want
August Gate to be a church for the angry atheists, the callous cynics, and the
dubious doubters. We want it to be a church gathering to which you can invite
people who won’t go to church. We hope we can be a place where you can bring
people to hear the gospel and not be embarrassed by the peripheral elements of all
things “churchy.” We want to be a church that redeems truth and church in the
eyes of the world.
