Pastor Don Hinkle has been teaching God's Word for more than 27 years. He is a native of Southeast Missouri who began as an ordained Baptist minister and later graduated from Rhema Bible Training Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
After spending two years serving as the Associate Pastor of Palm Harbor Word of Faith Church in Palm Harbor, Florida, Don and his wife Nicole moved to St. Louis in 2003 to pioneer Gateway Bible Church, Inc. ("GBC").
Don and Nicole have been married for eighteen years. Nicole is a 2005 M.B.A. graduate of Washington University in St. Louis and works as a marketing professional. Don and Nicole love the outdoors and enjoy spending their free time hiking, running and biking.
The primary focus of their ministry is teaching people that the Bible is practical and applicable to every area of life. They believe the one thing that makes life worthwhile is knowing God personally and that this is the key to being successful and fulfilled in life.
