Staff Update
We want to let you know that the Waterhouse family will be relocating back to Tauranga in the early part of 2026. This decision has come after six months of prayer, discernment, and conversation with the Lead Team.
Luke and Jessie have sensed God’s leading in this move, particularly as their children enter key schooling years. What began as practical considerations around education has grown into a clear conviction that this is the right time for their family to be together in one city.
We will be taking the opportunity closer to the time to formally recognise their contribution to Gateway but we’re deeply grateful for the way they have served, grown, and journeyed with our community.
While we’ll miss their presence, we also trust that God is at work in this transition and look forward to seeing what unfolds.
Farewell Sunday
Sunday, 30th October
10 am - 11:30 am
A last chance to wander the halls and pray over the streets that Gateway has called home for decades.
There will be no regular gathering but the building will be open between 10 and 11:30 am.
Pick up a coffee on your way, and prepare your hearts for a last farewell. Pre-cut squares of the iconic carpet will be available as well as the opportunity to cut your own.
Gateway Families Woollen Nativity
A knitted Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus will be making the rounds through our Gateway families this advent season!
Each family is encouraged to take time as a family to read the Christmas story together, take a photo of what Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus got up to at your place, then deliver them and a delicious treat to the next family to enjoy! Register your family via the link below and don't forget to post your photograph to the Gateway Kids Facebook page!
Make Room
As we move into our new building at 490 Grey Street, we’re not just building for ourselves — we’re making room for others.
We see our building as: A home, a place of belonging, where people connect and encounter God. A presence, a symbol of hope and faith in our city. A future - an investment in generations to come, creating space for worship, prayer, formation, and lasting community.
We invite you to be part of this story by sponsoring a space in our new building — a chair, a pew, or a square of carpet.
