Thanks for another great hybrid year!
Thank YOU for helping the Auction set another record in 2022, ending the 46th Annual Auction on Saturday, August 6th, at a total of $975,000! That breaks the previous year's record of $827,000. Praise God!
Gateway Woods’ Annual Benefit Auction is held on the first week of August. It opens with an online auction Wednesday-Friday and finishes with a large in-person auction on Saturday. Join thousands in showing their support through fellowship, good food, and bidding to raise money for Gateway Woods.
Wednesday, August 2nd - Friday, August 4th: Online Auction
If you can't make it Saturday or wish to participate online and in person, please join us for the Online Auction! You can pick up any items you won online on Saturday at the In-Person Auction, or we will arrange a drop-off/delivery in the two weeks following the Auction. As a bonus, there will be exclusive items online that you won't be able to find at the In-Person Auction!
Saturday, August 5th: In-Person Auction
For those who are able, join us on campus on Saturday, August 5th. Not only will you be able to connect with other supporters of Gateway Woods, purchase a pork chop sandwich, or sip a lemon shakeup, but there will be exclusive items you won't be able to find online.
For questions about volunteering at the Auction, please contact Janice at GWAuctionVolunteer@gmail.com or 260.376.1742. To stay up to date on all things Auction, follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
Thank you for your prayers and support of the ministry of Gateway Woods.

Common Questions
Please contact your local church representative or fill out the form above.
If you would like your item promoted in our Summer Gatepost, please give us the details by the second week of June. Otherwise the items need to be given to your local Gateway Representative by July 15.
No. We only take new items. We have found that over the years used and antique items just won't sell as well as a new item.
If you are 21 or older (or younger and accompanied by an adult), and come on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, ask around to see who is the volunteer coordinator, and that person will find you a job. If it is Thursday or Friday when you come out, ask for Joe Beer. There are always jobs that need to be filled in the days leading up to the auction.
Contact your local representative. There are usually several trailers going to various areas.
Yes, this is a family event and there are things for kids from jump houses to rides to a teen auction.
The Online Auction ends Friday night. While we would love to get your items in your hands that night, we have to make sure everything is accounted for prior to distributing to the winning bidders. We have items available for pickup on Saturday from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. next to the Clerking Station in the White Tent. If you are not available to pick up on Saturday, we will be shipping or delivering items within 2 weeks after the Auction.
Yes. The goal of the Teen Auction is for teenagers from ages 13-19 to bring their own money, and under the guidance of auctioneer Clark Stoller, learn how to bid in a real auction. It takes place at noon in the Blue Tent.
No. But the Teen Auction is still happening in the Blue Tent at Noon.
YES, please do! You can even use the same bidder number.
While things can change from year to year, for the most part we always have breakfast sandwiches, pork chop sandwiches, sloppy joes, potato curls, lemon shake-ups, smoothies, coffee, pizza, popcorn, candy, and the like. This year, we’ll also have Gateway Farms serving BLT sandwiches, and Faire Coffee serving barista-crafted coffee beverages.
