FOR EWOR D

On Sunday 4th March 2001, we had our first Service as a local church, in our living room, with our own children, and a handful of folks.

10 years later, by the grace of God, New Africa Gateway Church has made incredible strides and become a congregation of over 1,200 members, who come from beyond Roodepoort and Soweto in the West and South of Johannesburg, beyond Daveyton

to the East, beyond Pretoria in the North, and of course, from North Joburg, Centurion, and Midrand itself. To this

milestone, we say “Ebenezer”. Thus far has He brought us, and to God be the glory!

And yet we have only just begun. We celebrate the Lord in our great leadership, our staff, our volunteer workers and in the saints, who together make New Africa

Gateway Church such a joy and a privilege to Pastor. Great things are happening in our fellowship all the time, and the wonderful testimonies are evidence of the

grace of God in our midst.

We are so blessed that you came to visit us, and that we are able to share just a little of what the Lord is doing in our midst. We invite you to make sure we can keep in touch, and keep you informed about what is going on at “The Gateway”. Check out our new website. It will give you even more information about us and our major events.

We hope you will fellowship with us again, soon!

Rule and reign!

OUR BELIEFS

WE BELIEVE the entire Bible is inspired by God, without error and the authority on which we base our faith, conduct and doctrine.

WE BELIEVE…in one God who exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God who came to this

earth as Saviour of the world.

WE BELIEVE…Jesus died on the cross and shed His blood for our sins. We believe that salvation is found by placing our faith in what Jesus did for us on the cross.

We believe Jesus rose from the dead and is coming again.

WE BELIEVE…water baptism is a symbol of the cleansing power of the blood of Christ and a testimony to our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

WE BELIEVE…in the regular taking of Communion as an act of remembering what the Lord Jesus did for us on the cross.

WE BELIEVE…every believer should be in a growing relationship with Jesus by obeying God’s Word, yielding to the Holy Spirit and by being conformed to the image of Christ.

WE BELIEVE…as children of God, we are overcomers and more than conquerors and God intends for each of us to experience

the abundant life in every aspect of our lives.
