In his June 11 report to messengers at the 2025 Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting in Dallas, Gateway Seminary President Adam Groza said the seminary is “healthy, … growing and … focused” as he highlighted new scholarships, missions opportunities and multilingual programs for Gateway students.
Groza said the relocation of Gateway’s Fremont campus will add to the seminary’s endowment and provide additional funds for student scholarships with the aim of helping them complete their seminary studies debt-free while serving in their local churches. A new solar project on the Ontario campus was noted, which is expected to save the seminary $120,000 annually in utility costs.

Through Gateway’s GoGrant endowment, students are given opportunities to go on fully funded international missions trip to earn academic credits as well as firsthand experience with International Mission Board missionaries, Groza said.
“Some of these students will answer God’s call to missions, but all of them will return to their local church to more effectively and enthusiastically champion the biblical cause of global missions,” Groza said.
Gateway also strives to train leaders who will help meet the needs of churches in the western United States in several ways, Groza said, specifically mentioning Chinese, Korean and Spanish language degree programs; certificate classes taught in Burmese, Thai, Arabic, Swahili and Nepalese; and a new partnership with California Baptist University that offers CBU graduates the opportunity to add a Gateway master’s degree with only one year of additional study.
Groza said Gateway Seminary students “live on the missions field in the urban centers of the western United States,” and he expressed his gratitude to Southern Baptists for their support and prayers.
