Our Services
Here at City Gates Church, we love Sundays. We hold two morning services where you can expect singing, inspiring and challenging messages and opportunities to meet new people over a cup of tea or coffee. We would love for you, your family and your friends to join us, so if you’re free this weekend, why not come along to a Sunday service here at City Gates Church.

We belong to the Elim Pentecostal Denomination. Tens of thousands attend Elim churches every week. While the congregations range from small groups to some of the largest in the UK and Ireland, all Elim churches share a set of beliefs known as our Foundational Truths.
The Foundational Truths explain our theology and are a statement of faith – they are powerful, non-negotiable and guide all we say and do.
