History
Our journey began in 1970, in Sunnyvale, when God called Pastors Emanuele and Shirley Cannistraci to lead our church - then known as Calvary Gospel Temple. We were a small group of 60 members at that time, but God had much bigger plans. Within a few short years, our membership swelled to over 150. Young people were being saved and joining the church during an era of revival now known as the Jesus Movement. In September of 2000, Pastors David and Kathy Cannistraci were installed as the Lead Pastors of Evangel. Pastor David's heart for more expansion, ministry development and creating an outreach culture resulted in greater growth, and it soon became clear that our church facility was too small. After a long property search and several attempts to relocate our growing ministry, our church purchased its present facility in South San Jose and became GateWay City Church. And now, we have 5 Campuses: San Jose, Santa Rosa, Clovis, Modesto & Gilbert AZ.
