To some it is. To others, the Church is an irrelevant, archaic, prudish institution that stands in judgment of everyone and everything. What is your picture of Church? How was it shaped? Is the Church that Jesus started 2000 years ago a blight on society or a blessing? As we study history, it is clear that Jesus intended His Church to be relevant, influential and the true answer to mankind’s problems.

Jesus’ last words on this earth were “commissioning” words, filled with purpose: “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation” (Mark 16:15). He instructed His people, the Church, to share His message of love and freedom from the enslaving power of sin, with anyone that would listen. “City Gates” is a Church for every person of every nation. We will make you rethink your concepts of Church and most of all you will feel accepted and loved as we walk together on the most exciting journey of our lives.
