Next steps for people new to Gateways
Haven’t been to Gateways before and want to come along on a Sunday to check us out?
Or maybe you’ve been a few times and aren’t sure how to get more involved with our church community?
STEP 1:
You’re welcome to join us in-person at our church service every Sunday 10.30am at
(opposite The Warehouse).
Or if you prefer to watch our church online before coming in-person, see our YouTube channel.
There is plenty of free car parking available in our on-site car park or on the street.
The walk-in entrance for Sunday mornings is at the rear of the building.
You can sit anywhere on the seats in the church auditorium. Or if you prefer a less crowded space, sit in the church lounge and watch the live stream of the church service on the big screen.
We have a crèche for ages under-4. This is a safe, nurturing space with stories, songs, and play. A parent or caregiver is required to stay.
There is also a parents’ room where you can look after baby. If you need to know where these are, ask at the Welcome Desk in the entrance foyer.
There is a Gateways Kids programme for children aged 4-12 years (during school term), which runs from 11.00am during the church service (children must be able to go to the bathroom on their own with no assistance). You can ask at the Welcome Desk in the entrance foyer about Gateways Kids.
If you like, let us know you’re coming on Sunday morning by sending us a message, and we can look out for you to say “hi” at the Welcome Desk in the entrance foyer.
You are most welcome to stay after the service for a hot drink in the church lounge. This is a popular part of Gateways’ Sunday mornings, and a good way to meet new people.
STEP 2:
If you’ve been to Gateways before, tell us about yourself by filling in a Connections online form – this will be sent to our church office.
If you like, include on the form that you’re coming on Sunday morning and we can look out for you at the Welcome Desk to say “hi”.
Or if you prefer writing on real paper, fill in a Connections card at our church’s Welcome Desk on a Sunday morning.
STEP 3:
Sign up for Growing Together, a half-day introduction about our Gateways church community.
These sessions are held regularly on Saturdays 4pm-8:30pm.
