FAQs
HOW LONG IS A CITY GATES CHURCH SERVICE?
In total, a City Gates Church service is about 90 minutes in length. Services begin with the City Gates Church band leading the church in worship – song lyrics are projected onto the screens so you can sing along and/or engage with worship however you feel most comfortable. After the music portion of service is complete, one of our pastors will come out to share an encouraging and hope-filled message about Jesus.
WHAT ABOUT MY KIDS?
We believe that kids should have a blast at church every single week – and at City Gates Kids (4-10) and City Gates Youth (11-18), we make this a priority. The other thing we make a priority is your children’s safety. Because of that, we have a detailed check-in process for our Kids and Youth programmes the first time that you visit. You’ll want to leave yourself an extra ten minutes to get signed in. City Gates Kids and City Gates Youth is offered at both of our morning services.
