Meet the teams


Our teams are what makes our church unique.

Arena Team

Members of this team put on various arena events throughout the year. This includes the popular 3 Pen Challenge that is held each month from April thru December. We also hold rodeo events for the youth at different times of the year.

Prayer Team

Leader:  Marita Tiller
We are a group of men and women who have a heart for prayer and a belief that prayer is at the foundation of our relationship with God, as a church, and as individuals. We are committed to praying as intercessors and seek a posture of surrender, worship, devotion, and obedience-- to “pray without ceasing”. Corporate prayer and fasting is also a regular experience at Open Gate.
