Kids Christmas Service
10 am | Sunday 21st December
Hamilton Girls’ High School
This Sunday morning is a special Christmas gathering for the kids of Gateway. There will
be singing, dancing, a reading of the Christmas story and some ice-blocks for the kids to cool
off at the end.
We’d love to see some Christmassy dress ups too so feel free to deck your child out in their best nativity themed costume!
Christmas Carols
5:30pm | Sunday 21st December
Hamilton Girls’ High School
Join us this Sunday evening as we celebrate
the Christmas story together with carols
and Scripture readings.
Bring your best singing voices as we come together to proclaim the true reason for the season!
Advent at Gateway
In a world that rushes toward Christmas, Advent calls us to something different: holy waiting. For centuries, this season has been a sacred pause for the church, an invitation to us to learn the art of waiting with hope.
Join us on Sundays as we explore together what it means to wait well.
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!
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.
We’re working on plans to ensure our Young Adults community is well supported, and we’ll keep you updated along the way.
Make Room
As we move into our new building at 490 Grey St, we’re not just building for ourselves, we’re making room for others.
We see our building as a home,
a presence, and a future - an investment
in generations to come
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.
COMING UP AT GATEWAY
