"I'm going to pour out my spirit in the UK, do you want to be a part?'
These were the words Jon Colyer heard in his spirit in the spring of 2005. Answering 'yes', Jon, Angela and their son Levi left their home and ministry
in Canada to come and plant Gateway Christian Centre.
Our Vision
-
To open a gateway for the presence and power of God to touch people's lives.
​
-
To change the spiritual climate of individuals, families, regions and even nations.
​
Through times of prayer, Jon and Angela soon knew God was placing Birmingham and the Black Country in their hearts. So in January 2006, Gateway began meeting in Oldbury Academy, a local high school, with just a handful of people, but with a passion and hunger that very quickly defined the church. Gateway West Bromwich has a strong emphasis on worship, the Word, and the Holy Spirit and His gifts. Today more than 750 people who are committed to the vision, call Gateway West Bromwich home, and we give God all the glory for the things He is doing.
​
But the story doesn't stop there. In late 2020, Jon and Angela visited Liverpool for the first time. As they walked around the city that day; God begin to place Liverpool in their hearts, just as he had Birmingham and the Black Country, 15 years previously. Jon knew it was just a matter of time before there would be a Gateway in Liverpool. A church family just like Gateway West Bromwich, full of hope and vision for what God has in store for the city of Liverpool, and the Merseyside borough.
​
Gateway Liverpool began in the heart, but the time has now come for this church to become a reality. We are excited to announce that Gateway Liverpool will be launching in the Spring of 2025, in the Aigburth area of the city.
Who We Are
Who we are at GATEWAY CHRISTIAN CENTRE is best understood by looking at our Culture, Core Values and Belief Statement.

These are the immutable doctrines of our faith – and as such, need to be taught, embraced, and affirmed. Other wide ranging points of doctrine are theologically open to intellectual dialogue and even differing views. But regarding these key foundational truths of the Christian faith, there is simply no room for negotiation.
