THE RIVERSIDE CENTRE

Venue

Gateway Church

It is the home of the Gateway office throughout the week, open 9 am -4. 30 pm Mondays to Thursdays. Our staff facilitate the day to day running of the church and the use of the building. We have various groups and activities happening throughout the week, so please do check out our calendar.

 

As a whole church community we meet at the Riverside every Sunday at 9am and 10.30am, and at Willesborough Junior School at 10am. Our meetings are open to regulars and newcomers. 

​

Riverside Community Café

Our community café launched in October 2021 and is now open Tuesday-Friday, 9.30am-4pm in the summer and 9:30am-3pm in the winter. The purpose of the café is to serve the local community and provide a safe space for people to rebuild, connect and grow. This project has been made possible by the generosity of the church community and small grants, read more further down.
