The Gates

Our Mission

Our mission is to give a high school students a safe to be on a Friday night where they can share their love of music, art, dance, and faith.

Who comes?

Usually about 60-100 high school Christian and non-christian students show up over a course of a night.  Many are artists, dancers, performers, and DJs.  We welcome everyone from all walks of life to join us!  Come see love at its fullest!

Is it safe for my kids?

Yes.  Security is provided by adult volunteer ministry leaders who have Acts 33 and 34 clearance (PA Child Abuse History clearance and PA State Police Background Check clearance).  No drugs are allowed.  No alcohol is allowed.  No explicit music is allowed.

Who we are

We are a volunteers from Exit 31 youth ministries and BranchCreek Community Church.  It is jointly organized by students and ministry leaders from BranchCreek Community Church and has been running for over a year now.

When is it / How much does it cost?

The last Friday of every month. Exceptions are made for holidays.  It’s $5 at the door.

• Setup and breakdown:  Open to anyone who wants to help!

B-boy battles

Breakdancing circles do form on the dance floor and friendly “battles” happen occasionally.  They are a lot of fun!   At this time, we do not have any money prizes.  Sorry.
