A Warm Hello 

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet at the Gateway Church, Monk Street (details here) for our Sunday Service starting at 10:00am in our main hall, upstairs. For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to ensure you get a parking space and find somewhere to sit before the service begins. When you arrive, you should be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team who will be wearing a Gateway badge.

We serve hot drinks downstairs in our cafe, from 9.30, before the service begins. It is a great way to meet people, or simply take time to find your bearings. All refreshments are free.

Accessibility

There is wheelchair access, a lift and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up. There are disabled toilets on the ground floor.

Parking

There are two car parks nearby.

Brewers Yard car park, situated on Lion Street, NP7 5NW.

Our Service

The main service begins at 10am with a warm welcome from one of our team members. Then follows a time of contemporary worship, led by our band - 3 or 4 songs lasting approximately 25 minutes. Sometimes one of our leaders might pray out loud or read a small passage from the bible. We then share news and notices, usually about what’s going on in the life of the church.

One of our leaders, or a guest speaker will then give a  20-30 minute talk that is bible based and that we can apply to our everyday life. Besides our own speakers, we have a number of guest speakers visiting us throughout the year. We then finish with a final worship song. Sometimes there is an opportunity to receive prayer at the end of the service. Complimentary refreshments are available after the service.

What about my kids?

We have a great programme lined up for kids of all ages. We have GC Kids for 0- 12 yo and GC Youth for 12-18 yo. Please visit our Children and Youth page for more information.

Get Integrated

While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our Connect groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other.
