One God
We believe in one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who created all things and loves the world.
About
Our story
A church for the city, built by people who found a home in Jesus.
CityGate began with an encounter with Jesus and an open home.
What started around a dinner table, and grew through Thursday prayer gatherings in a living room, now has a home where more people can encounter the love of Jesus.
