Our story began in the early 1960’s. Mightily impacted by the Charismatic Renewal, we became known as Awapuni Christian Fellowship. Then as we experienced considerable growth we moved to the centre of town and became known as Christian Centre.
In 1984, we purchased our Church Street property and took on our original legal name: Palmerston North Christian Fellowship. After a decade of transition from the late 1990’s to 2009, we adopted a new name for a new season: Gateways Christian Fellowship, commonly referred to as Gateways.
We have 7 Core Values that reflect our history, experiences and story that meld together to form our corporate culture. Our values form the foundation for everything that happens in our church community…
Acts 17:28 “For in him we live and move and have our being.” This affirms that God is our source. Matt 5:19 “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing”.
We are a prophetic people living in the present, but looking to the future by faith and the revelation of the Holy Spirit.
Protecting a culture of Honour, Calling out the good, Affirming and Gracious toward one another.
Because we are a part of God’s Kingdom, we invest through Outreach, Mission, Evangelism, Releasing and Planting.
Truth / Unity. How we hear from God and recognise His confirmation and timing. Trusting the Holy Spirit. Respect.
We act responsibly out of Love. Everyone is pastorally responsible for each other’s well-being.
We have a redemptive heart and operate in the ministry of reconciliation.
This affects how we organise ourselves; how we exercise authority.
Recognising gifts and how the Holy Spirit puts us together.
