Vision is about where we are heading – values are all about how we intend to get there.
In building a church based on of God’s amazing grace, it can only be realised and sustained by how we treat and relate to each other. We have sought from the beginning to have no ‘no-go area’s’, where unresolved relationship issues are left unattended. We spend time teaching how to develop healthy interpersonal relationships and communication befitting for the Kingdom of God particularly in the digital age.
We passionately believe that people must be valued for who they are above and before what they do. This means that we do not rush to recruit people into roles within church as soon as they join us. Ministry roles without healthy relationships are not conducive to building sustainable healthy church life!
There are certain phrases that are often repeated at Gateway. Here’s a few much loved ones..
Honouring God’s Word and welcoming His Spirit. We firmly believe that Bible based preaching is a means through which God has chosen to challenge, convince, strengthen and equip us. Therefore, each Sunday a crucial part of our meeting is given over to preaching and teaching from the bible. We also value the supernatural activity of the Holy Spirit bringing healing and wholeness. We take seriously the apostolic injunction to ‘go on being filled with the Holy Spirit’ in order to live out our calling as followers of Jesus.
