About

Our story

A church for the city, built by people who found a home in Jesus.

TODO: Tell your story. CityGate began with a handful of friends praying in a living room, asking God to open a gate of hope in our city.

Today we are a growing, multicultural family who worship in English and Arabic. Our dream is simple: that everyone who walks through our doors would meet Jesus and find a place to belong.
