Gateways is a welcoming Holy Spirit-filled Christian church located in Palmerston North / Papaioea / Palmy.
We are part of the New Life family / whānau of churches in Aotearoa New Zealand, and are an evangelical pentecostal church.
We’re a church community where people join together to worship God and seek His guidance for their lives.
We’ve always been a “gateways church” for God’s purposes. Since very early in our history, leaders in our church have initiated and been involved in ministries and projects that have impacted our city, our nation, and the nations of the world.
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 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.
